Design Principles Behind BizzyB

BizzyB combines traditional curriculum models, contemporary project-based learning and leading-edge information technologies to yield a next-generation education system. The result is a flexible platform that offers a collaborative learning environment.

Produced and published by Bizgenics Foundation, a 501(C)(3) nonprofit, BizzyB is the result of a three-year grant by The Larry & Helen Hoag Foundation to create an online student innovation and entrepreneurship platform. We are very thankful to the Hoag Foundation for providing the resources to create the BizzyB program.
