Interested in the 16th Annual Early Childhood Education Entrepreneurship Expo that is happening this month. Though I cannot see the page because of a failed redirect, it is actually quite interesting. Is this about grooming children to become entrepreneurs?
I like the Wells Fargo Work Project. I also like that part of the award to the winners is a charitable donation (and that it’s made to a local organisation.)
