The Ōtaki Kids Market Team Inspires Young Entrepreneurs at Local School

The Ōtaki Kids Market recently visited a local school to run an engaging workshop on young entrepreneurship, inspiring students to explore the world of business. Participants learned how to create a product, working together in small groups as mini businesses to develop their ideas.

They brainstormed and chose unique names for their businesses before presenting their final products to the market team. Alongside product creation, the workshop covered essential skills such as customer service, handling money, and setting prices to ensure a fair profit.

The hands-on experience gave them a taste of what it’s like to be a young entrepreneur, building confidence, financial literacy, and creativity in a fun, supportive environment.
