How the Boss Kid Build 8-Kit Series maps to Oklahoma CareerTech entrepreneurship instruction.
Boss Kid Build is a pre-CTE entrepreneurship curriculum for learners ages 8–12 (grades 3–6), designed as the on-ramp to high school Career & Technical Education. Every kit develops competencies that align with entrepreneurship instruction delivered through Oklahoma CareerTech's Business, Marketing & Information Technology Education (BMITE) division.
Oklahoma's BMITE courses are built on MBA Research national instructional-area standards and sit within the Marketing and Business Management & Administration clusters (CIP 52.0701). The crosswalk below maps each kit to those courses and instructional areas.

A Note on Alignment Level
Boss Kid Build introduces these instructional areas at an age-appropriate, awareness-and-application level for ages 8–12. Oklahoma's secondary courses carry them to mastery and certification. The alignment reflects prerequisite readiness — the concepts and habits that let students arrive in BMITE entrepreneurship courses already fluent in the language of business.
