Starting February 13th, 2024, our partners at Comcast have teamed up with their BUILD initiative to produce FamBiz, an engaging new CEO simulation game designed to teach students about business through interactive real life scenarios. You can earn a $300 DonorsChoose gift code for completing the game with at least 10 students, while funds last. The first 1,000 teachers to have their submissions approved will receive a gift code.
