From Mini Idea to Big Brand
Create to CEO™ introduces children to entrepreneurship through an exciting, age-appropriate creative challenge.
Participants develop a product or service idea, identify the customer it could help, select a business name and create basic branding or packaging. Depending on age and session length, children may also practice pricing, promotion and a short business pitch.
Why it matters
Children benefit from early opportunities to turn creative ideas into real-world action. A playful business challenge lets them practice leadership, communication and money awareness without needing a finished business to participate.
Children often have imaginative ideas but may not realize those ideas can be developed into solutions. Early entrepreneurship education introduces financial awareness, communication, leadership and problem-solving in a practical way.

The activity is chosen for the group and session; the flyer illustrates examples rather than promising products or merchandise for every participant. Children are encouraged to listen to one another, make decisions and refine their ideas.
Recommended ages: 5–12. Duration: approximately 60–90 minutes. Five- or ten-week series may be discussed separately. Activities are adapted for the participating age group. Our team brings supplies to the workshop; they are not shipped.
