Now in its third year, the Avenor Entrepreneurship Challenge has become a highly anticipated project among our students. Designed especially for Year 9 students, this competition brings to the forefront the application of knowledge and skills developed in class, offering young people the chance to face a real-life entrepreneurial challenge. From concept to presentation, student teams had the opportunity to launch an innovative food product, which they then showcased in front of a jury, their peers and an enthusiastic audience ready to cheer them on.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Victor Bratu, Teacher of Geography and ICT <\/i><\/b>and the coordinator of the competition, shares in the interview below more about what was new in this edition and how the challenge unfolded.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

A Project That Keeps Growing<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"Like any entrepreneurial initiative designed to grow beautifully, the <\/span>Avenor Entrepreneurship Challenge<\/span><\/i> has evolved from one year to the next. Each edition has been a chance to learn from past experiences, listen to feedback and improve things going forward. Students’ interest has visibly increased \u2013 and not only among those in Year 9. The competition is already being talked about throughout the school, and younger students are looking forward to taking part in future editions.<\/span><\/p>\n

This Year\u2019s Theme: A Healthy Breakfast<\/b><\/p>\n

This year, the theme was both delicious and challenging: creating a healthy breakfast snack \u2013 sweet or savoury \u2013 accompanied by a business plan, a promotional strategy and a convincing presentation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Workshops with the Jury \u2013 A Welcome Innovation<\/b><\/p>\n

For the first time, this year\u2019s edition included workshops led by jury members \u2013 both returning and new \u2013 with the aim of creating a space for dialogue and learning ahead of the final presentations. This gave students a clearer understanding of what was expected of them, while also allowing the jury to get to know them and to better calibrate their evaluation criteria. All in all, a more transparent and fair competition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another first for this year: parents were also invited to attend the final event and watch the student presentations.<\/span><\/p>\n

8 Teams, Dozens of Ideas and a Lot of Dedication<\/b><\/p>\n

All Year 9 students took part in this third edition of the Avenor Entrepreneurship Challenge, working in 8 teams. Each team presented their product \u2013 which was not only explained but also tasted by the jury. The presentations included business plans, marketing strategies and packaging design.<\/span><\/p>\n
