Simple objective, with some great outcomes over the years.
This year with promotional support from District and Rotary trusts the number of Schools in our District was expanded to 14.
120 Students attended this year's Workshop on Friday 15th February, Early in the school year to encourage their Goals/ambitions with their Biz Plans at school.
Students are split from their schools and mixed in Teams of 10 for the day.
They develop a Business take it to a Market place to test it then present their plans to Angel investors.
A Quote from a Teacher.
" Wonderful learning experience as they were put outside their comfort zone having to work with students from other schools, different cultures and different knowledge base backgrounds. It took a a while for some students to feel confident enough to actively participate, after the barriers broke down nothing seem to hold back certain students. They learnt so much, found out their weak areas and discovered that they could achieve success when working as a team. The school van was totally abuzz on the Journey home.."
"Really enjoyed the vibe, the way the sessions flowed and added challenges to keep the students engaged throughout the day."
Where to next....well it can't get much bigger but other districts/clubs can observe next years and run the day themselves, wonderful opportunity...
