JA Titan is the ultimate on-line business simulation for high school students. Set in the year 2030, JA Titan creates a world in which students are CEOs of their own companies. As CEOs, students will match wits in the competitive, technologically advanced industry of the "holo-generator". Through each “quarter” of game play, a JA volunteer and the class teacher will advise students on how to run a manufacturing company and master the five key business decisions: price of product, production levels, marketing expenses, research and development costs, and capital investment.

No software, program guide or student workbooks required...EVERYTHING IS ON LINE!™.

Working within the parameters of a computer simulated economy, students will make decisions on how to run their imaginary companies, which create and sell the holo "generator". Students will learn to compete against their classmates and other schools at a one-day competition. Students then compete in the Western Regional Challenge against 23 other teams, allowing them the chance to apply their knowledge. TITAN is available in the fall semester only.
