Twenty-one teams worked through 18 quarters of business to bring their futuristic product, a miniature audio player capable of generating holographic images, to market.  They determined pricing, production levels and dollars to be spent in marketing, capital investment, and research and development. Teams were split up into three different marketplace levels based on experience with the JA Titan Program:  Titans (most experienced) Executives (some experience), Entrepreneurs (new to the game).

 JABC wishes to recognize the schools and teachers for their leadership and support of the event and partnership with JA to deliver business education to their students.  Special recognition to the volunteer Games Directors who developed the game logistics for the day.

The students are participants of the JA Titan Business Game; an interactive online program that takes budding entrepreneurs through the course of managing business in an ever-changing, technology driven marketplace. Designed to simulate actual business situations, students face very real and tough issues related to human resources, marketing, research and development and more.
