Event description

Entrepreneur day
2 x 2 Hours

Attention-this event follows a different time phrase and concept
The idea of this event is to introduce students to entrepreneurship and show them what it is all about.

08:45 - 10:45
Students will be grouped in groups of 5-6
They have to develop a business idea (either product or service) and develop a Logo, think about potential customers, product pricing etc.
There will be 4-6 groups in a single classroom.

You, being a experienced entrepreneur are joining the classroom, supporting the groups in their entrepreneurial thinking. You support them throughout the two hours.

11 - 1pm The students will set up a fair where they can showcase their ideas to fellow students and to you. You are invited to judge these ideas discuss with the teachers the best ideas, creativity, professionalism etc.

2-3 the students will have a session lessons learned and price giving session. It would be nice if one volunteer could join in to give a little speech and give the prices to the students.

More detailed briefing notes will be provided upon your registration and nearer the time.
