Observe the opportunity for children to launch their very own startup business with the Acton Children’s Business Fair!
Kids develop a brand, create a product or service, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers at our one-day marketplace. On Oct. 8, 2022, there will be a “Shark Tank” event at the East Coast Job-Jam where 20 of our Children’s Business Fair booth applicants will compete in a pitch contest in front of our sharks for a 1,000.00 cash prize and help getting their product to market!
