Although girls gravitate towards fashion and design for their first businesses, Bizzy Girls is also committed to introducing young girls to engineering and technology, Whyville.net an award winning simulation based learning environment will be holding workshops at the fair that will teach girls how to make game apps. Whyville.net will also be launching its Bizzy Girls page on the site that will connect to entrepreneurship games and encourage girls to attend Bizzy Girls Camps.
