About Enterprise
Enterprise is about coming up with ideas and turning them into something meaningful — whether that’s a product, a project, or a solution to a problem. It involves creativity, teamwork, and learning how to think in new ways.
Students interested in enterprise often also explore Technology Explorers, where they learn how ideas can be built, and Creative Writing Explorers, where they develop communication and storytelling skills. At our Enterprise Explorers summer school, students discover how these skills work together.
Learning and Thinking Like an Entrepreneur
Learning enterprise is about thinking creatively, solving problems, and sharing ideas with others. On our Enterprise Explorers summer school, students are encouraged to explore their ideas, take part in discussions, and work collaboratively.
Students build confidence by presenting their ideas and learning how to think about challenges from different perspectives. This approach supports learning across subjects such as Technology Explorers and Creative Writing Explorers.
