The Young Entrepreneur Hall of Fame was established for the purpose of enshrining great ideas and accomplishments of America’s youth in entrepreneurism. The Hall of Fame annually inducts up to three young entrepreneurs in grades K-12. In this way the Young Entrepreneur Hall of Fame is taking the great entrepreneurial accomplishments of American youth and preserving them forever.

The Young Entrepreneur Hall of Fame honors students who have not only invented a product, but who have also marketed their product. These young entrepreneurs may or may not have a patent; however, they are manufacturing their products for sale or donation. One of the goals is to recognize the creativity, packaging and presentation of their products. In addition, these young entrepreneurs have the added quality of being altruistic. They have invented products which will benefit others. This altruism is a characteristic that the National Museum of Education looks to foster in America’s youth.

The National Museum of Education has developed many programs of recognition and preservation. The Young Entrepreneur Hall of Fame is one of many educational programs administered by The National Museum of Education™, whose primary objective is to archive, enshrine and celebrate the positive efforts of American education.
