Knowledge Matters is an educational simulation company that offers online curriculum to high school and college students. Knowledge Matters and BPA partnered to host a national business simulation where students were tasked with making the most profit for a fictitious technology repair company. The students used their skills in management and pricing to make the most profit over a simulated three-month period. They could complete the simulation as many times as they wanted to try to improve their profits. Alison completed the simulation 76 times in and out of school placing 3rd in the nation winning $500! She will be recognized at the BPA national conference in Dallas, TX on May 12th.

 

Congratulations to Alison Pierce for her dedication and hard work!
