2. How to create meaningful internship opportunities that not only benefit aspiring entrepreneurs but also provide hands-on learning and internship opportunities for students from other CTE pathways who want to gain experience working with teen-led businesses.
3. Communicating with mayors and chambers of commerce. Learn what to ask for, how to effectively communicate the needs of students and schools, and how to bridge the gap between educational perspectives and community/business mindsets.

Are we training students to be NPCs (non-playable characters) in their own education? In many classrooms, students passively complete tasks, follow rigid instructions, and avoid risk-taking—just like background characters in a video game. What if learning experiences encouraged students to be player characters instead?
This interactive session explores how game design, RPG mechanics, and choice-driven learning can transform the classroom. Educators will discover practical strategies for making learning more engaging, including “quest” assignments, the concept of "leveling up", and choice-based exploration. We’ll examine case studies, brainstorm lesson redesigns, and leave with ready-to-use ideas that promote curiosity, problem-solving, and agency.
