About the Project

Edwards Creative had the privilege of planning, designing, building, and installing the new Junior Achievement BizTown for JA of the Heartland. Located in Moline, Illinois, JA BizTown is a meticulously crafted, kid-sized city, immersing students in an interactive learning environment. This hands-on educational experience allows students to explore various aspects of business management, personal finance, and community contribution, preparing them for real-world success. The newly renovated JA BizTown serves as a core element of the JA Inspiration Center, empowering young learners with essential life skills.

Edwards Creative collaborated closely with each of the business sponsors within Junior Achievement BizTown, bringing their unique visions to life in a space designed for student engagement and learning. Our team worked hand-in-hand with each store owner, developing customized designs and interactive activities tailored to the goals of each business. By aligning each store’s brand identity with educational objectives, Edwards Creative created an environment where students could immerse themselves in hands-on activities, from managing a bank to running a restaurant, gaining invaluable insights into everyday business operations.

This attention to detail and emphasis on collaboration allowed us to build a cohesive, realistic, and inspiring experience for young learners, empowering them with practical knowledge and an appreciation for civic and economic engagement.
