GoVenture is a series of educational games and simulations spanning business, money, health, and STEAM education. Its approach combines experiential, social, and gamified learning with skill-based and automated assessment. In the Entrepreneur simulation, learners start and operate a small business, progressing from a lemonade stand to a kiosk; the Advanced version extends the scenario to a full business. Programs are designed for youth and adults and used in schools, homes, nonprofits, governments, and businesses. The K-12 online subscription runs in a browser on tablets, Chromebooks, Windows, Macintosh, and Linux computers, and includes an instructor website for managing student accounts and assessments. A separate K-12 perpetual license installs on Windows and Macintosh computers and works offline without student accounts. The online subscriptions do not integrate or communicate with other school systems. For K-12 online use, students can sign in with instructor-generated usernames without sharing email, and instructors can delete student data. GoVenture says fully working product trials are available through product pages. MediaSpark Inc. produces and publishes the series.
