In the wake of a COVID lockdown, 16-year old Myles Ramsey suddenly saw his life turned upside down. In particular, he was so excited for an entrepreneur camp he had planned for the summer. But, he suddenly started seeing a trend in kids, an issue that follows along with distance learning; too much screen time. Myles then set out to build a box with all NON digital activities. With no business experience, he had to convince manufacturers of his credibility, especially because of his age. What started as a simple project to kill some time soon turned in to a full-blown company with a strong mission of saving children from the dangers of the internet and digital devices.

In an industry dominated by titans such as Nike, Adidas, and Crocs, 11-year old Carter Waugh climbed the steep hill with his unique innovation of a flip flop-clog hybrid.

Even though he already had an A for the project, he went above and beyond, combining his passion for helping others and for sports, into Ball4Good, sports games that benefit and more importantly, unite his community.

The second Michael Platt, who always had a passion and talent for culinary arts, realized that he could make money doing something he loved, the gears started turning in his young mind. Knowing it was going to be an uphill climb, the 12-year old was ready for the road ahead when he created his baking business Michael's Deserts. Combining the aesthetic appeal inherited from his mom, a cosmetics major, and the art and love of culture inherited from his father,  Michael set out to sell the perfect desert. But to Michael, it wasn't just about a cupcake. It was about spreading his love of the craft, and building a platform to combat food insecurity, even promising to donate one desert for every desert purchased.
