What happens when kids are given the freedom, tools, and support to turn their own ideas into something real?
In this eight-week homeschool series, young makers will dream up their own product, experiment with materials, create prototypes, solve problems, and develop a small collection to sell. They’ll create a business name and logo, learn how to price and package their work, design a display, tell the story behind what they made, and practice talking with customers.
This is not a class where every child follows the same example or leaves with an identical project. Each maker will build something inspired by their own interests, imagination, and personality. Ideas may change. Prototypes may flop. Problems will absolutely happen. That is part of the process.
Along the way, kids will learn how to make creative decisions, work through frustration, accept feedback, manage their time, and keep going when something does not work the first time. They’ll discover that making a product is about more than creating something beautiful. It is also about understanding who it is for, what makes it special, and how to share it with others.
At the end of the eight weeks, our young entrepreneurs will put everything they’ve learned into action at a real Maker’s Market at The Bazaar on Apricot & Lime. They’ll help set up and manage the booth, meet customers, talk about their creations, and sell the products they worked so hard to develop. They will keep the money they make from their sales.
The goal is not simply to teach kids how to sell something. It is to give them a safe place to take their ideas seriously, learn through trial and error, and experience the pride of bringing something entirely their own into the world.
