The talent of young Sherbrooke entrepreneurs was honored on Sunday at the Marché de la gare de Sherbrooke. More than thirty of them exhibited their products throughout the day, to the delight of visitors.
During this big gathering at the end of the season, the children also received their diplomas and participated in the draw for scholarships. Several visitors came to encourage them in the pursuit of their dreams.
This summer, while playing sports, I injured myself. I could no longer exercise. So, I did that quite a bit all my summer. I made a very big turnover, yes

He makes magnets, yes, but also purses and headbands. Later, Justin wants to have his own business.
I wanted to build a pizzeria with my cousins when I was very young. After that, when I grew up, I wanted to become a robotics engineer.
Annie Godbout launched the Experience Jeun’Entreprendre project. She is delighted with the season experienced by the 32 young participants.
People like to develop projects. It’s really a nice family project over the years. That’s what I see
she said.
It’s an experience that we want to give them, to discover themselves, to discover their passions.

A family project is what the twins Laetitia and Lauriane Ruette have achieved by writing two books.
One evening, I was in the fifth year of primary school, I said to myself that I wanted to write a book. I took my parent’s computer and started writing in a Word file, it looks like this. I decided to create two characters. One evening, Lauriane saw what I was doing and she asked me if she could participate and we started writing the story together.
It takes two years. The first volume took us 10 to 12 years and for the second, we were 12 to 14 years old.
The whole family was involved in the writing of these two books. Their parents were of great help during the steps that followed the writing.
My wife Geneviève took care of the editing of the books and I participated a lot in the correction
explains Sébastien Ruette, father of the young authors.

Mainly, young entrepreneurs gave themselves confidence by developing their products.
I would like to have a small shop in the Magdalen Islands and probably sell earrings or jewelry, because I really like the Magdalen Islands. We’ve been going there every year for four years
said Frédéricke Lépine, 9 years old.
