School Entrepreneurship Workshops

With each of our school entrepreneurship workshops offering different durations, simply choose an option (or options) to suit your students.

In our three flagship school entrepreneurship workshops, our experienced and engaging facilitators come to your school. Using our Entrepreneur’s Odyssey, over one, two, or five days we take your young people from looking inward at personal passions and lived experiences, igniting their entrepreneurial mindset to analyse problems and ideate, then prototype, impactful solutions.

We connect students with inspiring entrepreneurs and real-life change makers, bringing authentic, real world voices to your classroom. All three workshops culminate in your young people showcasing and pitching their own innovative, scalable and sustainable business solutions.

School entrepreneurship workshops that are tailored for you.

Whether you’re looking for one intensive day to kick start your students’ entrepreneurial aspirations or a more in-depth approach over multiple days, we’ve got you covered. Whichever school entrepreneurship workshop you choose, we work with you to tailor your workshop to your students.

Ignite

Ignite is our high energy, five day school entrepreneurship workshop that culminates in students pitching their own innovative, scalable and sustainable business solutions to a panel of judges in your school’s very own Showcase Event.

Replacing regular curriculum for a week, our experienced and engaging facilitators begin by having students look inward at personal passions and lived experiences to form teams (up to five) that are united in tackling a common problem.

From here, students use design thinking methodology and cutting edge entrepreneurial tools to ideate, prototype and business model their own innovative, scalable and sustainable business solution.

In the weeks leading up to your program kicking off, we’ll work with your team to mobilise a panel of local entrepreneurial mentors within your school community to support your students during the program and also organise the final day’s ‘Showcase’ and ‘Shark Tank, including helping to secure potential judges.

By the end of the five days, your students will:
  • Have a greater understanding and appreciation of self, including personal passions, interests, values and strengths.
  • Have an understanding of social enterprise, purpose led business and social impact, including impact measurement.
  • Have an understanding of design thinking methodology to solve problems, including empathising, ideating, validating, prototyping and pitching.
  • Have an understanding creating value propositions, conducting market research and ‘The Lean Startup’ methodology.
  • Have developed their capacity to lead self and others.
  • Have developed their capacity to collaborate and project manage efficiently and effectively.
  • Have developed their capacity as storytellers; pitching (and persuading) with purpose.
  • Ultimately, be empowered with the knowledge, skills, processes, and support to stand up; taking action to solve problems that matter to them.

Spark

This two day, facilitated school entrepreneurship workshop sparks curiosity, a drive to collaborate with others and a passion for solving problems that matter to your school and local community.

We work with you to co-design the ‘mission’ that students embark on; thus empowering your students to design solutions for contextually relevant school or local community issues.

In just two short days, our experienced and engaging facilitators will take your young people from exploring who they are, and what matters to them, to elevator pitching their own prototyped solution to a panel of school leaders.

By the end of the two days, your students will:
  • Have an understanding of design thinking methodology to solve problems, including emphasising, ideating, validating, prototyping and pitching.
  • Have developed their capacity to lead self and others.
  • Have developed their capacity to collaborate and project manage efficiently and effectively.
  • Have developed their capacity as storytellers; pitching (and persuading) with purpose.

Flare

Flare is a fast paced day of listening, learning and doing. Young people hear from a diverse range of local entrepreneurs before rapidly prototyping their own innovative solutions.

During the morning, students engage with local changemakers on a variety of relevant and topical areas including the entrepreneurial mindset, social enterprise, overcoming challenges, failure and navigating the ‘future of work’.

In the second half of the day, students will rapidly prototype their own innovative, scalable and sustainable solutions that make the world a better place.

By the end of the day, your students will:
  • Have an understanding of design thinking methodology to solve problems, including empathising, ideating, validating, prototyping and pitching.
  • Have developed their capacity to collaborate and project manage efficiently and effectively.
