What happens when children run the market?

What this is
One day. Twenty-eight real businesses.
Entrepreneurs ages 6–14 have chosen what to make, built a brand, set their prices and prepared to meet real customers.
On July 25, they take over the market. You get to see what they created—and support a child’s first real business.
