Ways to Teach
Our mission is to make entrepreneurial learning accessible.
That’s why we create free entrepreneurship curriculum lessons that can be implemented in many different ways adapted to your students’ needs!
People of all backgrounds can facilitate a VentureLab program and many of our facilitators don’t have experience teaching entrepreneurship. To get started, all you need is a space to accommodate students and internet to access our ebooks (or printed copies of our lessons).
