Using GoVenture

GoVenture Entrepreneur has three different simulations with complexity: Lemonade Stand, Kiosk, and Full Business. Each simulation works independently of one another. The purpose of this guide is to review the basics of each simulation.

Additionally, instructors are required to assign a Canvas grade for simulation(s) and microlearning. Be sure to review the Student Activity Report tab to learn more about accessing student gameplay data.

For a more comprehensive guide, visit GoVenture Instructor Resources or select Learning Guide, Tutorials, and Help from your GoVenture dashboard.

Lemonade Stand Simulation

The basic simulation is Lemonade Stand, which requires managing a few locations and inventory for a non-varying customer base. The simulation built-in tutorial will help guide you through the process of creating, running, and evaluating the success of your business.
