About the Project

“Makers in a Multi-Cultural Marketplace” is an educational initiative for second and third-grade students, integrating technology, entrepreneurship, and cultural heritage exploration. Divided into three phases, it starts with students researching and promoting their culinary traditions through commercials. Next, they collaborate on a vlog series showcasing cultural diversity. The project culminates in a “Makers Marketplace” where students create and sell products, learning marketing and financial skills. They then invest their earnings in the school stock market and visit a local farmer’s market. This program aims to develop entrepreneurial and cultural awareness, bridging classroom learning with real-world application for students to thrive in the 21st century.
