Experiential learning provides a concrete experience that allows an individual to transform that experience into knowledge. The JA BizTown program utilizes experiential learning even before the kids arrive to work their job! Students are prepared through 19 lessons facilitated by their teacher to participate in a carefully designed simulation that closely resembles the real-life workplace. Throughout the experiential learning process, students are actively engaged in posing questions, investigating, expressing curiosity, solving problems, assuming responsibility, and constructing meaning.
