WORTHINGTON — Approximately two dozen Nobles County Homeschoolers students will host a Maker’s Market from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Thursday at Phileo’s in downtown Worthington. The students, which range from kindergarteners through 12th graders, have made a variety of items that they are offering for sale. ADVERTISEMENT Sally Enderson, who has two children participating in the event, said shoppers will find everything from sourdough bread and homebaked goods to bird feeders and bird baths made of wood, candles, blankets and more. “Some of them are a bit more experienced entrepreneurs and there are brand new entrepreneurs,” she said of the students. “There will be an extreme variety of things that people can use for gifts or for their house, stocking stuffers and also food items.” This is the first time the Nobles County Homeschoolers have planned a Maker’s Market. Enderson said the state of Minnesota has a Venture Upward program available to homeschool families to provide students with different opportunities for learning experiences. The online platform can be done as part of homeschooling or to supplement homeschooling education. “This year we had enough kids to actually join the program to start a Venture School, which meets on Thursdays,” Enderson said. The nationwide program incorporates different educational sessions throughout the year. In communities where there is a larger homeschool population, students come together to learn about business, becoming an entrepreneur and developing marketable products. Katie Kouba is Nobles County Homeschoolers’ point person. Thursday’s Makers Market was open to all Nobles County homeschoolers but Venture Upward provided the platform for what it should look like, Enderson said. ADVERTISEMENT She and fellow home educators taught students about creativity and coming up with their own ideas on how to be an entrepreneur. “It’s fun to see their creativity,” Enderson shared, noting that students came up with their own ideas, determined how much they should sell their creations for by considering fair pricing, how to display their goods in a booth, and more. Enderson said her 7-year-old son had an idea to recycle crayons. He peels the paper wrapping off broken crayons, breaks the crayons down further and puts them in molds. His finished product — animal shaped crayons that are ready to be reused. “He has been truly on his own,” Enderson said. “He’s even woken up early in the morning (to work on his business).” Enderson’s 13-year-old, meanwhile, is building wooden bird feeders and bird houses to sell. “There’s a wide range of creativity and it’s exciting,” she said. “We’re asking the community to come and stop by and encourage all of the hard work that these kids have done.” The Maker’s Market will be set up inside Phileo’s Coffee & Eatery, 212 10th St., Worthington, in the back room and/or upstairs. Signs will direct people on where to find the student booths. ADVERTISEMENT Enderson said each student participating will decide what to do with the money they earn on Thursday. Some may donate it, others will use it to buy Christmas gifts or to simply cover their costs involved in making the items.
