The Business Builders workshop is an experiential learning curriculum aimed at helping 7th & 8th grade students develop viable, innovative, and self-engineered entrepreneurial ventures. In this workshop, students develop their own businesses by creating professional, market-informed products or services. Through this process, students discover how businesses are imagined, created, grown, and maintained.

The duration of the Business Builders workshop is a minimum of 10 weeks, although students are encouraged to participate for the entirety of the school year. The longer a student is enrolled in and engaged with Business Builders, the more comprehensive and developed their businesses will become.

In BASEC Model UN (MUN), students role-play as delegates of the United Nations. During this workshop, pairs of students are assigned a particular country to research and represent in Model UN Committee simulations. Through these simulations, student delegates work collaboratively to find and create solutions to real global issues.

As part of this workshop, students prepare to participate in UNAGB’s Middle School Model UN conference on November 16th 2024: a gathering of MUN students from Greater Boston to test their diplomacy skills together. Participating in Model UN is a great way to improve skills in public speaking, debate, teamwork, collaboration, research, writing, and global awareness!
