Paper Airplane Factory

The Trading Game
by Youth EntrepreneursThe Trading Game engages students in a trading simulation designed to illustrate a complex marketplace in which goods and services are traded. Through several rounds of trade, students will see that the broader their access to trade, and the more choices they have for solutions to their problems, the greater their satisfaction.

PIT - Just the Basics
by Youth EntrepreneursPit is a fast-paced card game designed to simulate open outcry bidding for commodities. We use the game as a way for students to learn about trade and simple negotiations, and focus on the economic principle of comparative advantage.
Towers
by Youth EntrepreneursTowers is a game that demonstrates the importance of both doing business profitably and also doing it “the right way.” After completing Towers, students better understand the importance of conducting business using the Foundational Values to create long-term value.
Tennis Ball Factory
by Youth EntrepreneursThis experiment uses student participation to teach the concept of diminishing marginal returns. Students are told they will be the employees in a widget factory. This game works equally well in small classes (less than 30 students) and also large lectures (more than 250 students). You will need enough space to place the buckets 16-20 feet apart. If you do not have a large room, you may want to complete the activity in the hallway, outside or in the gym.
I, Pencil
by Youth EntrepreneursI, Pencil offers teachers the opportunity to reiterate many of the themes of previous lessons, but with a specific emphasis on the market process, the invisible hand, spontaneous order, and voluntary cooperation. The key text for this lesson is Leonard Read’s “I, Pencil” essay, which helps demonstrate how markets coordinate the actions of thousands of free individuals through market prices and incentives.
Bead-Ville
by Youth EntrepreneursStudents will have the opportunity to participate in the three basic economic systems. By working in each of the systems, students internalize the fundamental values present in each system. They also gain insights into the basic advantages and disadvantages of each system.
10 Economic Principles
by Youth EntrepreneursYouth Entrepreneurs follows ten economic principles that we believe are crucial for students to understand in pursuing their entrepreneurial ventures. In tandem with our Foundational Values, these principles are the platform for success in economics. Our Economic Principles include the Four S’s, the Four Market Measures, and Ricardo’s Law of Comparative Advantage. Watch these videos to learn why these principles are so important and get tips on how to teach them.
