Over four weeks young people will use a £10 pledge to get their business ideas off the ground.
A highly interactive and fun programme introducing enterprise and financial education and enhancing key skills, including communication, creativity, problem solving, teamwork and confidence.
Four Week Challenge Plan
The four weeks of the Challenge are outlined below:
1 - Here's £10!
Teams research and decide on a product or service to invest their £10 in.
2 - Getting started
Teams need to source materials or products, prepare sales pitches, and plan selling events.
4 - Payback and keep the profits
At end of the Challenge students decide how to spend or donate their profit after repaying £10 pledge plus £1 legacy contribution to support the 10X bank.
Weekly Competitions
At the end of week 1 and week 3 students will have the opportunity to enter competitions.
Week 1 - Logo Design
We look for logos which create impact and communicate the product or service to customers.
Week 3 - Sales Pitch
Imagine students only have 60 seconds to sell their product or service, what would they say?
National Competition
The National 10X Challenge Competition runs at the end of the four-week programme.
There are four different awards:
- Best Overall Team/Business
- Best in Sustainability
- 10X for Good
- Most Inspiring Individual
