Members of Square One, a Georgia Southern University entrepreneurship club, hosted its first-ever makers market on East Main Street in downtown Statesboro. The Market on Main gave student entrepreneurs, creators and artists an opportunity to showcase their products, goods and services. Booths for the 30 student businesses featured a variety of products \u2013 everything from clothes and food to homemade soaps, crystals, stickers and macram\u00e9 items. Benjamin Youngstrom, a senior business management major from Roswell, Georgia, is president of Square One.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe technical skills of entrepreneurship can be taught,\u201d he said. \u201cWe wanted to bring out all these aspiring entrepreneurs and give them an opportunity to sell and promote in person in a way they haven’t before. Square One’s goal is to provide the tools and knowledge needed to help grow these students and help them build a business. This was by far the best way to show them what we’re about and begin pulling them into Square One where we can help them grow more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 30 student businesses were represented at the young entrepreneurs\u2019 showcase and members of the Statesboro community were invited to show their support for the hard-working students. Youngstrom said turnout wasn\u2019t as big as he hoped, but added, \u201cIt wasn’t a bad start. It was just the beginning.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
