The Business Builders program is a hands-on workshop designed to ignite entrepreneurial thinking within students. Guided by expert facilitators from BOP Industries, students will be inspired to identify their passions and turn creative ideas into viable businesses ready to launch for under $100. This action packed workshop equips young learners with the tools and confidence to develop, brand, and pitch their very own products or services.

The program kicks off with brainstorming sessions and rapid ideation challenges, where students explore different types of businesses and select a concept to develop throughout the day. With their ideas in place, students are guided through customer discovery activities to create detailed customer personas. This helps them better understand their audience's needs, preferences, and frustrations, a crucial step in building a successful business.

Next, students dive into branding and product design. They craft compelling brand identities by developing names, logos, and promotional materials that reflect their business vision. With creativity flowing, participants learn about product design principles and create prototypes for their offerings, refining their concepts to best meet customer needs. The day culminates in a pitching masterclass, where students learn how to deliver persuasive and engaging presentations before pitching their ideas to peers and facilitators.

By blending creativity, critical thinking, and practical business skills, the Business Builders program empowers students to explore the entrepreneurial world in a fun and supportive environment. It's a perfect choice for teachers looking to foster innovation, problem-solving, and leadership skills among their students. This program not only inspires future business leaders but also equips young minds with skills they can carry into any career path.
