What's included

A complete run from preparation to awards

Before the event

We help you settle the challenge theme, team structure and submission format, and provide sample topics.

On the day

We run the flow on site, with equipment, prize draws and staffing handled by our team.

Judging and results

Industry mentors and a judging panel score the entries, then we compile the feedback and winners for your school.

How it runs

Four stages, completed within one term

Planning and quotation

We start with your school's needs, student numbers and timetable, then submit an itemised quote.

On-site preparation workshop

A workshop at school takes students through breaking down the brief, forming teams and preparing pitches.

Event day and follow-up

We run the competition and awards, then turn the judges' feedback into school-based further-study material.

Who it suits

Secondary 3 to 6 students and careers guidance teachers

Particularly suitable for students sitting the DSE or still deciding on a direction. Teachers can use it to extend further-study planning and career guidance work.

  • Secondary 3 to 6 students
  • Careers guidance teachers
  • Curriculum or activity budgets
Frequently asked questions

The two questions schools ask most

No. We send hosts, judges and full-time support on the day. Your school only needs to provide the venue and a supervising teacher.
