“The standard academic curriculum can be restrictive in allowing these entrepreneurial skills to flourish,
as students focus on what is needed to answer exam questions etc. The Challenge has given them an outlet to let their skills develop.” – Teacher
“A great chance to experience what it’s like to run a business and gives a great challenge to manage time, money, resources and orders” – Student
