So choose a savings goal and use your lemonade stand to save enough money by the end of summer.

Welcome to the real world! In Banzai Teen, you’ll work to save enough money for your first semester’s college tuition and registration fees. You’ll make important everyday decisions, like choosing living arrangements, transportation, utilities, and entertainment with your friends! Because Banzai is just like real life, you’ll face unexpected obstacles, which could impact your end goal.
