Congratulations Isaac! This Inventor\/KidPreneur is continuing to take his skills to greater heights and challenging himself by innovating new products for market.<\/p>\n

His latest creation, The Marble Run!<\/a> It’s so fun! Not only is it a marble race or a maze, but it is one you build yourself and can change over and over again!<\/p>\n

Inventors are great at making new inventions, whether they are fun or solving a problem. But Isaac is also a KidPreneur because he has learned how to package and sell his inventions as well. In fact, when I first saw his Marble Run, I thought he was ReSelling them! They looked so professional!<\/p>\n

Checkout these pictures of how he packages them.<\/p>\n

Shrink wrapped with custom instructions, bagged little pieces and a great logo, Issac first launched these gems at the Tinypreneurs<\/a> 2019 event to see how they would sell.<\/p>\n

Previously, in our Build a Biz Kids Fall 2018 program<\/a>, Isaac started his Entrepreneur adventure making Churros. That’s right, Churros! Who doesn’t love those! He made them in the morning and then brought a toaster oven and “add on” dipping sauce as a tasty up-sell. His marble run was a different type of market and, as we have seen at many of our markets, didn’t sell as fast as the impulse buy food did.<\/p>\n

But everything is a learning experience and there are many factors to consider when working to make a product “successful” such as price, packaging, how you display it and what your method for distribution is, but also the product itself. Is it something the market actually wants?<\/p>\n

Issac put it to the test! He entered an inventor content through Instructables<\/a> and waited for the feedback. He had lot’s of comments asking questions and complementing his innovation. That’s a great sign! But then, after waiting patiently, he finally heard back! While it wasn’t the Grand Prize, he won 1st place and a nice gift card to go with it! He was onto something!<\/p>\n

What to do now…. Well, Isaac, congratulations on your Big Win! We have no doubt that you will make this business a success just like your Churro business. It’s just finding the right combination of your business factors and then you are off to success!<\/p>\n

Isaac and his brother just finished our Inventor’s Paradise<\/a> summer camp<\/a> and made some pretty incredible creations. We hope to see him back again and can’t wait to hear what he is up to next !<\/p>\n
