These two Grade 3 students read the "class-room" really well, offering a business solution that would not only turn a profit, but help achieve learning goals, too. Kenneth and Ethan Liu of Sidney Ledson Institute won over judges and earned the Judges' Choice Award for their invention in the 2023 CSR National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge. These two young entrepreneurs saw a need for vocabulary learning through reading, and came up with a product called the "VocabMark." Watch the video, below, to see Kenneth and Ethan's full presentation and comments from impressed guest judges, Raj D. (founder of Farang Martial Arts), Jennifer Donovan (founder of J. Donovan Law Group), and Bradley Jacobson (founder of UltraVac):
