How this program works
Young Entrepreneurs Lab runs as a short, focused series inside our STEM schedule. Kids go from idea to simple “kid business” plan with plenty of support and examples.
- Fast-Track style: Runs in short sessions (for example, 4–6 weeks at a time).
- Small groups: Limited seats so each student gets help with their project.
- Mix & match: Often paired with Engineering, Maker, or Money Smart themes.
What kids work on
- Brainstorming product or service ideas they could offer as kids
- Designing simple products, logos, and “brand” names
- Planning basic pricing and costs using kid-friendly examples
- Practicing short pitches to explain their idea to others
- Creating posters, menus, or mini “storefront” displays
The focus is on creativity and confidence, not perfection. Every step is broken down and guided.
Skills they build
- Entrepreneurial thinking and problem-solving
- Goal setting and basic planning skills
- Money awareness: costs, prices, and simple profit
- Teamwork and communication with peers
- Confidence speaking in front of a small group
