A real idea, taken from concept to result.

With structured support, students develop a product or service idea, consider who it is for, calculate simple costs, choose a price, create promotional material and take part in an enterprise activity. They then calculate the result and explain what they learned.

The exact activity will depend on the venue, permissions and safeguarding arrangements.

No previous financial or business knowledge is required.

The programme uses clear language, practical tasks, teamwork and age-appropriate guidance. Full session, payment and enrolment details will be shown before registration is completed.
