Innovation & Enterprise Workshop For Anglican High School

I started taking a batch of 40 students from Anglican High in the Innovation & Enterprise Workshop in May this year. There will be a total of about 14 sessions where these students will be innovating, researching, marketing and presenting. Personally, I love running innovation programs. And this program that I was assigned to conduct is the most comprehensive innovation program in Singapore, I dare say, where students get to learn problem identification, brainstorming for ideas, learn to analyse the competition, learn to market and present their ideas.

The first session of the program

The class is made up of secondary 1 students and they are a bright bunch of teenagers. Very driven and full of energy.

 Earlier his year, i made a promise to myself. I must have at least 5 teams from various schools under my portfolio to get into the finals on this year's ICE Challenge 2013. For those who do not know what is ICE Challenge;
I.C.E Challenge is an innovation and enterprise competition held at a national level. The acronym for Innovation, Creativity and Enterprise, this competition is in conjunction with the Global Entrepreneurship campaign. Students will be required to create an innovative product idea and present them with a business plan. The finals will be judged by a panel and all preparation is for this day.

It is not the winning of the competition. It is about competing and this brings the students to another level altogether. It is from this experience that I think will benefit them. The trophy is just a bonus.
