A Startup Market powered by kids' boundless creativity & potentials
The market stalls will be run by kids aged 4 to 15. The "kid-trepreneurs" can make the call on everything from design, product to service, and cultivate a range of abilities like logical thinking, problem-solving skills, communication skills, teamwork, creativity, innovation through hands-on work and play. Visitors are also encouraged to bargain with the kid bosses so they can learn to negotiate with others, adjust social strategy and strengthen their understanding of mathematics.
