Could a 10-year-old invent the next Uber? Doordash? What about those "Jibbitz", You know, the thing you put on your crocs!

Well, there's a prime opportunity to find out at the Atlantic Highlands Children's Business Fair! Get a glimpse at the future by spotting their entrepreneurial genius!

Starting Sunday, August 11 from 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm, the first ever Atlantic Highlands Children's Business Fair will host young salespersons, inventors, and entrepreneurs at Amici Pizzeria! Free and open to the public!

So How Does Children's Business Fair Work?

It's pretty straightforward. Kids will create a product, or service, and develop a name, brand, and marketing strategy around that idea at this one-day marketplace.

They are responsible for the setup, sales, and interaction with potential customers. WARNING: Any parents caught selling their child's product, or assisting with customers will result in a DISQUALIFICATION. So play fair!

Sponsored by Acton Academy, the Acton Next Great Adventure, and support from donors this event is possible.

“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. Prizes will be awarded in each of the four age groups (6-7, 8-10, 11-12, and 13- 14) for “Most Business Potential,”“Most Creative Idea,” and “Most Impressive Presentation.”
