Our Story
It began with middle school students turning a secret recipe into a small salsa empire and a tech idea into a Silicon-valley style startup in the Midwest…
Their passion, persistence, and success revealed something profound: young minds are capable of being future innovators — and they’re ready to create change now.
Launched in 2022, Kidvation Global has built an ecosystem where students:
Through our Applied Imagination™ curriculum and Marketplace of Ideas platform, we prove youth can create immediate, meaningful change.
“We believe youth possess unique perspectives on global challenges - perspectives that often go unheard. They see solutions where others see obstacles. They imagine possibilities where others accept limitations.”
Harold Lee, Jr., Co-Founder
Together, these platforms create a complete ecosystem for young innovators to learn, create, and make real impact.
Our educational programs equip students with innovation skills through schools, organizations, and faith-based institutions.
The Marketplace of Ideas is our e-commerce platform where students sell products, showcasing initiatives and real-world concepts.
We’re business leaders and youth advocates united by this belief: young minds can solve real-world problems when given the opportunity (and the right tools!)
