Hands-On Entrepreneurship for Grades 3-8
At Idea House & Co., we know that entrepreneurship isn’t just for adults—it’s a skill that can be cultivated from a young age. That’s why we created the Young Founders Entrepreneur Program, a hands-on experience designed to teach 3rd to 8th graders the fundamentals of business, branding, and product development in a fun and engaging way.
​
This nine-week program introduces students to the real-world process of launching a product and business. Throughout the course, students:
✔ Develop a product and brand from scratch.
✔ Participating in a school fair launch, gaining experience in sales, marketing, and customer engagement.
✔ Compete in a Shark Tank-style pitch event, where they present their ideas to industry professionals, including the Idea House & Co. team.
​
By blending creativity with critical thinking, leadership, and problem-solving, this program empowers young minds with the confidence to innovate. Whether they dream of inventing the next big thing or want to learn how businesses work, Young Founders provides real-world experience in a classroom setting.
