Educational Programming

Noiz Ivy delivers educational programming to schools and Universities in an effort to alter the way students access the important ideas contained within the subject of 'Entrepreneurship Education'. There has been a raging debate whether entrepreneurs are born or can be created through effective training. Noiz Ivy believes both conditions to be true. We invest heavily in the development of custom programming, products and services to aid in the development of young entrepreneurial minds, and have been doing so since our founding in 2001.

kidOYO™ is a branded effort to build a community around the idea that all people, whether in possession of the mindset, skills or ambition to pursue an entrepreneurial path, should be defined by default in this world as "entrepreneurial owners".

From the first moment of birth, your life is an asset, and it is under your guidance to engineer it into the form you wish it to take over the course of your life. In the end, you may choose to pursue a life based on the structure of W2 employment within a corporate entity, but the skills and mindset of self-sufficiency, personal accountability and creative resolve should follow you through all of your actions and choices.

Below is a listing of some of the educational programs that KidOYO offers. Take a look, and if you would like to discuss the development of custom programming, you may contact us to begin a discussion:

The 45 Minute Startup™ - Got 45 minutes? Launch your business startup here. This app has been tested live under intense conditions; four teams, 20 members each, 45 minute class period, 75% completion rate. What you got?

Tinker School™ - Adapted from the great work shown below. This program gives kids access to tools and hands on creative learning at a very young age, and builds complexity within the program design as kids demand it.

Biz Ball™ - Often times, athletes are driven by the dream of becoming a professional in their respective sport of choice from a very young age. We believe this dream is the spark of an entrepreneur-in-waiting, and although few will successfully accomplish this dream, the world of sports is a vast one with many possible end-points. These programs are designed to introduce athletes of all ages to the world of thought that exists when they become aware of the larger playing field that exists in the professional sports arena. All programs are custom developed to the audience and setting.

Own Yourself™ - A project to empower students to own their choices and make responsible decisions that lead to the successful completion of high school by addressing the issue of student motivation, and exposing students to real world experiences linked to personal interests.

Backyard Farming - If you want to change the world, as the saying goes, start entrepreneuring change in your own backyard. Working with partners such as Zhenerbee Farms™, kids are introduced to business ownership and sustainability concepts within the framework of a multi-faceted backyard farm.

Global Entrepreneurship Week™ - For one week, millions of young people around the world will join a growing movement of entrepreneurial people to generate new ideas and to seek better ways of doing things. Dozens of countries are coming together to host Global Entrepreneurship Week, an initiative to inspire young people to embrace innovation, imagination and creativity. To think big. To turn their ideas into reality. To make their mark. Read More Here

Noiz Ivy Business Plan Competitions – Just as it says; students compete to win venture capital funding or scholarship monies by creating business plans based on original ideas.
