What happens when a broken shoe strap turns into a thriving small business?

Instead of waiting for the future, today's students are using technology to build their own opportunities right now.

In the concluding half of our special student-voices edition of the One-to-One Podcast, we shift our focus to the entrepreneurial side of student tech. In this episode, you'll hear from eighth-grader Blake about launching his Etsy shop, Blake's Thingamajigs, and helping lead his school’s weekly PantherCast broadcast club.

Join us as we explore how students are using technology to connect with their communities and turn what they love into something that matters.

A special thank you to Blake, his family, and Ms. Katie Dollahon for sharing their story and inspiring the next generation of creators.
