What if the next big business idea came from a Grade 10 classroom?

At the University of Windsor, a group of students is betting on it.

Enactus Windsor, a student-run organization at UWindsor, is transforming how young people in Windsor-Essex learn about business and sustainability.

Local students turned the University of Windsor into a bustling marketplace this month, selling handmade goods and pitching business ideas during Market Day, an event designed to teach financial literacy and entrepreneurship through hands-on experience. 

The two-day showcase held from Nov. 3 to 4 at the Odette School of Business and the CAW Student Centre, brought together grade school and high school students from across Windsor-Essex as part of Enactus Windsor’s Ascent program.
