It is widely believed that empowering young people with an entrepreneurial mindset is the key to developing more entrepreneurial behaviour and preparing youth to flourish in our emerging economy. However, little data exists to show if entrepreneurial education actually leads to a more entrepreneurial mindset. This study examines the impact of PowerPlay Young Entrepreneurs (PYE), a 6-week educational program offered to students from grades 4 through 8. The program, offered by a Canadian not-for-profit organization, incorporates project based, experiential learning that fully aligns with best practice in K-12 education. The data for empirical analysis is provided by two student surveys totaling 2453 student participants and an educator survey of 44 teachers in the Surrey and Langley school districts in British Columbia, Canada.
