作为The Learning Partnership的创业冒险（EA）计划的一部分，CBE学生来自七所学校的学生于5月29日在First Canadian Centre展示了他们的作品。学生与他们的BMO行业合作伙伴一起创造了一个为学生选择的慈善机构筹集资金的商业创意。然后，学生与他们的老师和商业合作伙伴合作，让他们的企业运转起来；从提出创意，计算成本和利润，到市场营销和销售他们的项目。 今年，参加该项目的三所CBE学校获得了国家或当地奖项。Children’s Village School因为他们的“Beadtastic！”业务，为Brown Bagging for Calgary Kids筹集了1300加元，获得了全国多元包容奖。Buffalo Rubbing Stone School的一年级和二年级班级创办的“Mini Market”获得了全国创业精神奖，而Copperfield的“Coppercade/Energy World”获得了当地的卡尔加里BMO奖。其他成功的企业包括来自Olympic Heights、West Ridge、Simons Valley和William D. Pratt学校的项目。 创业冒险计划为学生提供了一个机会，使他们能够将他们在学校学到的知识与周围的世界产生有意义的联系。他们发展了批判性思维、沟通和创造力的技能。学生们在为当地和国际慈善机构筹集资金时，也增强了品格和公民意识。

As part of The Learning Partnership’s Entrepreneurial Adventure (EA) Program, CBE students from seven schools displayed their work on May 29 at the First Canadian Centre.  Students and their BMO industry partner create a business idea that will raise funds for a student selected charity. Students then work with their teacher and business partner to get their venture up and running; from pitching ideas, calculating costs and profits as well as marketing and selling their project.

This year, three CBE schools that participated in the project received national or local awards. The Children’s Village School received the national Diversity and Inclusion Award for their “Beadtastic!” business, which raised $1,300 for Brown Bagging for Calgary Kids. The “Mini Market” created by Grade 1 and 2 classes at Buffalo Rubbing Stone School received the national Enterprising Spirit Award, while Copperfield’s “Coppercade/Energy World” received the local Calgary BMO Award. Other successful businesses included projects from Olympic Heights, West Ridge, Simons Valley, and William D. Pratt Schools.

The Entrepreneurial Adventure Program gives students an opportunity to make meaningful connections between what they are learning in school and the world around them. They develop skills in critical thinking, communication and creativity. Students also enhance character and citizenship as they raise money for local and international charities.
