THE Maker2Market PROGRAM

Building the Next Generation of Creators

Through our program, young people build an entrepreneurial mindset and experience taking their creative idea to income – selling real products to real customers at real venues.

Not theory or a business simulation, just real-world learning and problem-solving, earning while doing what you love, and growing with a community of young creatives.

Creative and aged 10-17? Start your journey with us today!

“Edii’s program are very supportive to both teens and parents. My daughter's exposure to Edii’s learning programs, brand and marketing concepts, helped her begin to think like a designer and an entrepreneur— designing for a target audience, selling for love of making and profit became part of her mindset. She’s loved the ongoing Market Days and the new Online program - lots of stretching and preparation to take the leap into her very own business!” Tina Tsiros, Parent
