The “Kidpreneuers” promoted their work Saturday afternoon, and got to meet potential business mentors.
HAMPTON, Va. — Young entrepreneurs got the chance to show off their unique ideas at a Hampton festival on Saturday afternoon.
The Greater Aberdeen Community Coalition hosted its third annual YouthFest for “Kidpreneurs”; it gave kids an environment to showcase their products and their talents! They also got a chance to meet business owners from the community.
Shelton Tucker, the president of the Greater Aberdeen Community Coalition, said it’s all about giving kids the opportunity to shine at an early age.
“It’s something that’s real inspiring to see, kids interact with adults,” he said. “They don’t have any fear, they build confidence, that’s something that’s sorely needed in our community.”
The event also ran its own version of Shark Tank, where the kids were able to win a cash prize based on scoring by a panel of judges.
