The Enterprise Programme
A business your child builds, pitches, and sells from scratch.
Seven days. Students take an idea from a problem on Day 1 to a real product on a market stall by Day 7, and keep every penny they earn.
Parents invited Day 4 (Sat 1 Aug) and Day 7 (Tue 4 Aug, bring cash)
The week, day by day
What students actually do, each day.
A snapshot of every day, the venue, and what students walk away with. For the full 15-minute-by-15-minute curriculum design, including learning objectives, tutor briefs and materials, get in touch and we will send it over.
