When Imagination Becomes Impact

Imagine this:

You’re 6 years old. You’re asked a simple but powerful question:
“If you could make or sell anything, what would it be?”

You pause. You’ve just written down all the things you love. Your eyes light up. You pause.
Then, almost whispering, you say, “This is hard.”

But before you shrink your dream down to what seems “realistic,” you hear...
“Don't think about what's possible. Dream big. There are no limits.”

So you do.

You don’t just picture a popsicle you’d like to eat,
You design a bold, shark-shaped creation, filled with fresh fruit and flavor, that takes a bite out of boredom.

And then you watch it come to life.
You hold it.
And just like that, the invisible becomes visible.

That was yesterday at WCC.

This week is the launch of our Youth Entrepreneurship Program, a bold space for young visionaries of all ages to think freely, design creatively, and build with purpose.

Our students aren’t playing small.
They’re walking in creative authority.
They’re building like they were born for this.

They’re creating products that are expanding their perception of what's possible:

• Custom molds for edible jewelry collections

• Calming scents in a moon-shaped perfume bottle

• Fruit-shaped ice molds for one-of-a-kind lemonade

• 3D-printed trinkets for scalable jewelry lines

And today, they’re building storefronts.
Yes, they are building lemonade stands, jewelry walls, and perfume displays as they prepare to share their designs with YOU.
