Young Entrepreneurs at SMUS Showcase Bath Bombs and Original Products at School Fair

Bath bombs made by elementary-age students drew attention at St. Michaels University School's Entrepreneur Club Fair in Victoria, BC last Thursday, where Junior School participants unveiled original products after eight weeks of after-school preparation.

The fair served as the culmination of a curriculum designed by club leader Becky Anderson, who guided students through the Entrepreneur Club's program at the independent Victoria school. The student-made bath bombs were among the original products on display, representing one of the more hands-on and chemistry-adjacent projects to come out of the eight-week course.

SMUS Junior School students had spent the after-school sessions developing concepts, refining their products, and preparing to present them at the fair. The event brought those efforts into public view, giving young makers a chance to stand behind tables and represent work that was entirely their own.

Bath bomb production sits at an interesting intersection for young entrepreneurs: the materials are accessible, the fizzing chemistry is demonstrable in seconds, and the finished product photographs well enough to anchor a pitch. For students encountering business concepts for the first time, a tangible, giftable product like a bath bomb tends to make the abstract mechanics of pricing and presentation considerably more concrete.

Anderson's eight-week structure gave students enough runway to move from idea to finished product without the timeline collapsing into a single weekend craft session. The fair on March 13 was the proof-of-concept moment the curriculum had been building toward since the club's start earlier this year.
