The next big invention could be coming from Grade 4 students at Nicomekl Elementary. From USB battery-operated chargers to dry erase boards, slime and tabletop hockey sticks, the Langley students showed off their hand-made products at a young entrepreneur show held in the gym during lunch hour on Tuesday.
Each student had to write up a business plan, figure out costs per unit and determine how to market, create and then sell their product, said Lora Katchmar, whose daughter Izabella Webb sold Izabella's bath salts.
Each student then picked their own charity to donate to once their costs were covered.
Izabella chose the Canucks for Kids charity.
Among the creations were charmed candles, bird feeders, dry erase boards, slime ,colourful pencils, bean bags, sketch art, hidden books and more.
"It really puts their minds at work," said Katchmar.
