Kids Camp: Makerpreneur Lab

♻️ Make. Brand. Pitch. Turn discarded materials into a real product in Makerpreneur Lab! In this hands-on 2-day camp, children step into the roles of young makers and entrepreneurs as they transform used plastic bags into a durable new material. Participants begin by identifying a genuine everyday need before designing and building a useful bag attachment. Through plastic fusing, sewing, prototyping, and user testing, they refine their product before creating a brand, setting a price, and preparing their sales pitch. The camp concludes with a showcase where children present their finished products to parents, sharing the problem they solve, their material story, brand, and price.
