Young Entrepreneurs Fair
Empowering Kids to Create, Lead, and Thrive
What Is the Young Entrepreneurs Fair?
The Young Entrepreneurs Fair is a one-day marketplace where kids become the creators. From designing a product or service to building a brand and pitching to real customers, this is entrepreneurship in action.
Children set up their own booths and bring their ideas to life in a fun, real-world business experience that sparks creativity, courage, and confidence.
Whether they’re selling handmade art, baked goods, slime kits, or original services, this is their moment to shine.
Why We Do It
We believe kids are capable of incredible things when they’re given the freedom to lead, build, and dream big. The Young Entrepreneurs Fair is about:
Encouraging creative thinking
Practicing financial literacy
Strengthening confidence and communication
Learning through doing, not just studying
Creating real-world experiences that stick
We want to help raise a generation of children who know how to take initiative, lead with purpose, and follow through on their ideas. This fair is just one way we help children discover their own power and potential.
Inspired & Sponsered by Acton Academy
This fair is inspired by the powerful learner-driven model of Acton Academy, a school that believes every child is a hero on a journey, capable of changing the world.
Acton reimagines education by putting the student at the center. Instead of rigid curriculum and top-down instruction, Acton encourages curiosity, creativity, and ownership. Children learn through real-world challenges, Socratic discussions, and entrepreneurial projects that mirror what they’ll face in life, not just on paper.
At the Young Entrepreneurs Fair, kids aren’t just learning about business in theory, they're doing it.
They dream up an idea, solve real problems, build with their hands, interact with customers, and face the ups and downs of bringing a vision to life.
This is Acton in action.
Why It Matters to Us
Our passion for hosting this event is rooted in a bigger dream:
We’re actively working to bring an Acton Academy to our town.
We believe families deserve more than the traditional path.
We believe education should be built on freedom, curiosity, responsibility, and purpose.
We believe kids thrive when they’re treated with trust and respect—not micromanaged.
Bringing Acton to our community means giving children a place to grow in wisdom and character, not just knowledge. It means preparing them for a world that needs their ideas, their courage, and their leadership.
The Young Entrepreneurs Fair is just the beginning.
It’s a small glimpse of what’s possible when we give children the space to lead.
