Middle School Entrepreneurship in Action
Three students from Canyon Ridge Middle School share how mxINCedu transformed their learning experience as they designed, built, and marketed their product: the “Busy Board.” Their story highlights the power of middle school entrepreneurship to spark creativity, collaboration, and real-world problem-solving.
Learning by Doing
In mxINCedu, students don’t just study ideas—they bring them to life. Through teamwork and hands-on creation, these students developed a product that was uniquely their own. The process pushed them to think creatively, solve problems, and take pride in building something from scratch.
Unlike traditional classes, mxINCedu gave them the freedom to explore their interests and discover what they’re passionate about—all while building confidence and collaboration skills.
Turning Problems into Solutions
The biggest challenge? Choosing an idea. Faced with endless possibilities, the students started by reflecting on their own school experience. They recognized a common issue among their peers: staying focused in class.
That insight led to the “Busy Board,” a sensory tool designed to help students concentrate and stay engaged. By identifying a real problem and creating a practical solution, they experienced entrepreneurship firsthand—learning that even in middle school, their ideas can make a meaningful impact.
