Is Your Child Starting To Show The Entrepreneurial Spirit? They'll Love New HD Series Biz Kid$

If you are the parent of a school-age child, you MUST read this. Remember that great show Bill Nye The Science Guy? While the Emmy Award-winning producers of that show will be debuting Biz Kid$ tomorrow, a fast-paced public television series aimed for school-aged kids that teaches kids all about money and finance.

Designed to be engaging and entertaining, Biz Kid$ will air across the United States with 26 30-minute episodes, teaching kids the importance of establishing good financial habits early on through the use of profiles of kids who run their own businesses. Kids running every type of business from dog-walking to big companies with their own product lines are profiled, in cooperation with JA Worldwide(R) (Junior Achievement(R)), showing kids the basics of saving, budgeting, investing, and giving back to the community, while showing young viewers that they can be Biz Kid$ too.

Says Biz Kid$ Executive Producer Jamie Hammond of profiling young people running their own businesses, "This humanizes the financial literacy aspect of the production and shows kids the range of possibilities available to anyone who wants to become a biz kid."
