Knowledge is power … and that is exactly what it takes to win this educational competition. The High School Business competition requires students to analyze situations, apply information under pressure, chart and interpret data, build consensus, make decisions, solve mathematical problems and work together as a team. Using JA’s high school business simulation program Students make a series of business-related decisions and learn problem- solving, critical thinking, and business strategy skills.

Computer simulations provide and encourage students to collaborate while exploring their thinking, allowing learners to manipulate their learning experiences and visualize results."
