Programme Description
#TeenBoss is a three day event design for maximum impact on Teenagers, exposing them to entrepreneurial and leadership skills.
The three day programme takes each participant and their team on a journey from a defined initial problem through to a business proposal presentation. The programme is similar to the Start-up Weekends that have run around the world, but with an emphasis on Teenagers and local community problems.
Each team is assigned an initial problem that they need to understand and create a business solution for. This is done through a number of key phases:
1. Introduction to your problem and understand why is exists
2. Understand your personal and team strengths
3. Explore the people affected by the problem who will become your customers
4. Ideate various solutions to the problem to begin to visualise a product offering
5. Create a visual representation of the product to use for marketing
6. Build a business model around the product to include resources and finances
7. Prepare a pitch presentation
Each team will deliver a pitch presentation to a panel on the third day. Prizes are awarded to the top 3 team
