Biz Kid$

7 episodes

Seven episodes from the public-television money show for kids: five half-hours and two two-minute entrepreneur profiles. The long ones each take one financial idea and work it through with real kids and families. They cover what an allowance is for and the three things you can do with money, how saving plus compound interest turns small amounts into large ones, how to set a money goal and map a route to it, and starting a business from idea to business plan. The shorts profile Mo Bridges, sewing bow ties at nine, and Rachel Zietz, who built a lacrosse-gear company.
