6th Annual ESTEAM Academy Children's Business Fair

The FIRE Foundation is excited to be part of the largest entrepreneurship event for kids in North America by hosting the 6th Annual ESTEAM Academy Children's Business Fair. Kids develop a brand, create a product or service, build a marketing strategy, and open for customers at our one-day marketplace.

We will host up to 80 booths (a $20 registration fee per business applies) at the CHASCO Family YMCA in Round Rock from 11 am to 2 pm on Saturday, April 22nd.

We invite other organizations to join us in supporting the smallest small businesses in Round Rock through sponsorship. Sponsorship funds ensure that the event runs like clockwork for the participants, customers, judges, and volunteers. Click here to secure your sponsorship today!

The event is open to the public and FREE to attend. We encourage friends, family, community members, and entrepreneurs to come and support the next generation of young entrepreneurs!

Want some expert support to get your business rolling? We are again offering a Workshop Series leading up to the business fair. The FIRE Foundation is hosting three dates in a repeated format to help our entrepreneurs move their businesses from idea to launch using our CBF Roadmap. The workshops will have successful local entrepreneur mentors available to share their experiences and expertise with these young businesses.  All three dates are Sundays, and all workshops run from 3 pm to 5 pm. The business investment for each workshop is $7.
For more information and to sign up, choose a date below.

Do you want to win some cash?

During the CBF event, there is a competition within each age category. Judges from the business community will interview each business at the event and determine a winner for these three areas: Most Original Idea, Best Presentation, and Highest Business Potential. Each prize category winner receives a certificate of achievement and a $50 cash prize. Not to mention some serious bragging rights!

Design Contest Closed! Thank you to all the fabulous artists that submitted designs. We look forward to announcing the winner soon. The winning design will be on the official 2023 event shirts, PLUS the artist wins a $50 cash prize.
