Description

Join us for the Final Event of the Ripyl Enterprise Challenge - Marlborough Edition, where some of Marlborough’s youngest entrepreneurs will take the stage and share their ideas for a brighter region.

Over the course of the challenge, Year 7 and 8 students have been working in teams to tackle real-world challenges put forward by local Marlborough organisations. They’ve explored problems, developed ideas, tested their thinking and learned what it takes to turn an idea into something worth sharing.

Now it’s time for the finalists to pitch.

The evening is a chance for whānau, schools, businesses and the wider Marlborough community to come together and celebrate the creativity, confidence and problem-solving ability of our young people.

This challenge isn’t about expecting 12 and 13-year-olds to have all the answers. It’s about giving them the opportunity to think differently, have a go, work together and discover what they’re capable of - building skills in collaboration, problem-solving, creativity and communication along the way.

Come along, support our student finalists and see what happens when we give young people the opportunity to tackle real problems with fresh thinking.

The Ripyl Enterprise Challenge - Marlborough Edition is brought to you by Future FX, Marlborough Chamber of Commerce and Ripyl, with the support of local organisations helping connect Marlborough classrooms with the wider community.
