For teachers

A six-week project that fits a term.

Use it in a lesson block, a CCA or an after-school club. Students do the thinking, you keep them moving.

  1. Week 1

    Spot

    Walk the school. Each team lists five problems and picks one.

  2. Week 2

    Design

    Fill in the first three canvas parts: problem, solution, customers.

  3. Week 3

    Cost it

    Work out price and costs. Plan how to measure the benefit.

  4. Week 4

    Test

    Run the idea for real. Record numbers and no-face photos.

  5. Week 5

    Pitch

    Film the 3-minute video, or write the essay (up to 1,000 words). Test it on another team.

  6. Week 6

    Submit

    Run the checklist together and submit before the deadline.

What students submit

Practical notes

What you need to know

  • Each student needs their own parent or guardian’s consent, so send the heads-up to parents early.
  • Students register as a team; use a teacher or parent email as the team contact for students under 13.
  • Don’t put student faces in proof photos. Photograph objects, tally sheets, scales and shelves.
  • Mixed-age teams are welcome: there is one category and every team is judged together.
