“Bizzmobile” Means Business
Mobile classroom springs into action for NexTier’s Community Banking Week
Cranberry Township, PA – April 11,2006: Children making and selling lemonade will rise to a whole new level when the big, bright Bizzmobile settles in for a visit in Cranberry Township on Saturday, April 21. Inside its walls, visiting children can make and sell lemonade to learn the basics of money management, practice money exchange with a real cash register, and use the five laptops in the computer lab to run their own business simulation.
The 35-foot-long mobile classroom is stopping at NexTier Bank’s C ranberry Township branch (in front of Wal-Mart) as part of the bank’s Community Banking Week activities from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. Its three distinct areas are designed to provide children with hands-on experience in three business ventures.
The Bizzmobile has been making the rounds at regional schools for the past year. Its community goal is to stimulate entrepreneurial thinking in children ages 3 to 18. “ Pittsburgh’s changing employment climate encourages entrepreneurship since small firms are creating most of the jobs in the Pittsburgh area given the decline of large industries,” said Dr. Cindy Iannarelli, its founder. She has been recognized as one of the nation’s leading experts on developing entrepreneurial skills in children.
