The workbook is available in English and Spanish for grades 1-5.
“I believe every child should have a chance to learn the incredible lessons of entrepreneurship and develop a mindset and ‘heartset’ that will open doors for them for a lifetime,” said Dr. Cristal Glangchai, Founder and CEO of VentureLab.
