Could a ten-year- old invent the next Über? Attendants will find out at
the First Annual Acton Oakland Children’s Business Fair on May 19.
Designed to showcase kids’ entrepreneurial genius, this event is sponsored by Acton
Academy of Oakland County, the Acton School of Business, Amtech Electrocircuits and
generous support from donors and volunteers. It runs from 2 to 4:30 p.m. at 530 Pine
St, Rochester, 48307. This event is free and open to the public.
At this event, 30 young entrepreneurs, aged 6-13, will be challenged to create a product
or service, develop a brand, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers.
The children are responsible for the setup, sales, and interacting with customers.
This event has acted as a springboard to many successful ventures. One previous
competitor from 2009, Makaila Ulmer of Bee Sweet Lemonade, is now sold in Whole
Foods Market in Texas as a result of her young business savvy.
“Today’s youth are tomorrow’s business innovators and leaders. The Children’s
Business Fair gives students the opportunity to spread their entrepreneurial wings and
get a head start on promising business careers,” said Jeff Sandefer, founder of the
Acton School of Business, one of the sponsors of the fair.
Both adult sponsors and young entrepreneurs are available for interviews on camera or
off.
