Kids Camp: Makerpreneur Lab

♻️ Make. Brand. Pitch.
Turn discarded materials into a real product in Makerpreneur Lab!

In this hands-on 2-day camp, children step into the roles of young makers and entrepreneurs as they transform used plastic bags into a durable new material.

Participants begin by identifying a genuine everyday need before designing and building a useful bag attachment. Through plastic fusing, sewing, prototyping, and user testing, they refine their product before creating a brand, setting a price, and preparing their sales pitch.

The camp concludes with a showcase where children present their finished products to parents, sharing the problem they solve, their material story, brand, and price.

♻️ Plastic Fusing & Material Innovation

🔎 Identifying a Real Customer Need
Participants identify an everyday item they want quicker access to, such as keys, hand sanitiser, or lip balm.

✏️ Product Design & Pattern Making
Children sketch and plan a customised bag attachment before learning the sewing and pattern-making techniques needed to construct it.

🛠️ Prototyping & Product Building
Participants create their first working version, focusing on function, fit, strength, and ease of access.

🧪 User Testing & Refinement
Children test their prototypes on their own bags, gather peer feedback, and improve what does not work.

🏷️ Branding, Costing & Pricing
Participants name their product, design its visual identity and price tag, and consider production cost against what a customer may pay.

🎤 Pitching & Final Showcase
Young founders present their finished products to parents, explaining the problem solved, material used, brand, and price.
