BizTown is a day-long learning experience that brings in-class instruction to life in a simulated town. Students operate banks, manage restaurants, write checks, vote for a mayor, and learn about financial literacy.

The learning experience is presented by Junior Achievement of Washington, a nonprofit organization that works to connect students with hands-on educational activities. The organization has long partnered with the Financial Education Public-Private Partnership (FEPPP), which brings together the public and private sectors to provide high-quality financial education to public school students. BizTown is part of the broader FEPPP curricula.
