Founder Apprentice Business Pitches

The Year 10 Business Management and Enterprise elective students have had an exciting and productive time this term showcasing their entrepreneurial skills. As part of the classroom Founder Apprentice Challenge, students had to work in small teams to create, brand and pitch a new product. 

 

The variety of business ideas pitched by the students demonstrated their diverse interests and ability to identify market needs. From skincare solutions tailored to teenagers facing specific skin conditions to individualised suits, robotics, and insoles for basketball players, each idea reflected a unique understanding of customer preferences and potential unique selling points within a market.

 

This presentation planning provided students with valuable insights into the entrepreneurial process, including market research, product development and presentation skills. By working in teams and pitching their ideas to their peers, students had the opportunity to collaborate, refine their concepts, and gain confidence in presenting their ideas - a vital skill in the world of business.

 

Euclid Hutahaean, Azeriah Borja and Kolinne Tang created a professional pitch of their business idea, KAE, a skincare range.
