Youth Student Goes from Maker to Young Entrepreneur

At the Hispanic Heritage event at BHCC on 10/03/26, Emma's 3D printing business was featured and open for business. She sold out of some of her toys and took future orders from customers.

Emma has been taking classes at Build Play Learn Labs for the past two years. She has completed every drone camp course, two 3D printing classes, and Intro to Code, and she is currently taking Saturday Robotics and Genius hour. During the winter holidays, she convinced her parents to buy a 3D printer instead of more toys, vowing to create toys for herself and others. Since the purchase, she has practiced her ideas in class and taken small orders from friends at school.

We are proud of Emma at Build Play Learn Labs. She came to us knowing nothing about makerspaces, and she has grown into a confident young entrepreneur. She has also developed a new love for science and math, and she hopes to go to college and become a scientist.

Emma's journey shows what can happen when curiosity meets opportunity. In just two years, she has gone from newcomer to maker to business owner, and she is only getting started. We can't wait to see what she creates next, and we look forward to supporting her as she turns her big ideas into a bright future.

As our first major grant award, this is an important moment in the growth of Build Play Learn Labs. We are grateful to the Meta Community Fund for investing in community-based organizations and believing in what we are building.

We also thank our students, families, volunteers, instructors, board members, community partners, and supporters who have helped Build Play Learn Labs grow from an idea into an expanding STEAM learning organization.

This is only the beginning.

Our vision is to build a sustainable network of community makerspaces where young people—regardless of income or background—have access to the technology, mentorship, creativity, and opportunities needed to become tomorrow’s builders, engineers, designers, entrepreneurs, and innovators.

Build. Play. Learn. Create the future. 🚀
