Monday 16 November 2009 Where? At your school or college Who’s it for? KS4 & KS5 students (14-19 years) How do I register? Registration opens 1 September at: www.makeyourmarkchallenge.org.uk A full information pack will be available in September. Don’t be a carbon copy, enter the Make Your Mark Challenge and let your enterprising students stand out from the crowd. This one-day activity asks students to generate new and innovative business ideas in response to a secret brief and meets National Curriculum requirements for enterprise education too. Last year over 56,000 young people took part - enter a single class or a whole year group. The sky’s the limit! Make Your Mark Challenge 2009 – Don’t be a carbon copy! The Make Your Mark Challenge is the UK’s largest one-day enterprise competition. It will take place on Monday 16 November 2009 at the start of Global Entrepreneurship Week UK (formerly Enterprise Week). It’s free to enter and it offers you an effective way to engage 14-19 year olds in a fun and rewarding enterprise activity. The competition develops skills such as creativity, team work and communication and it is also an opportunity for you to invite local business people to support your students and share their expertise. The Make Your Mark Challenge is easy to run and there is a large selection of free materials available to support you. You’ll find previous examples, lesson plans, warm-up activities and past entries available on the website. Registration will open on 1 September 2009. If you’d like to take part, simply visit www.makeyourmarkchallenge.org.uk after this date and tell us how many students will participate. The competition works well with large numbers or small groups and it is suitable for students of all abilities too, so why not enter an entire year group? Every student will receive a certificate and this year we’ll be awarding additional prizes and awards to recognise the breadth of enterprise talent uncovered by the competition. We will send out a more detailed information pack at the start of September, but in the mean time if you have any questions regarding the Make Your Mark Challenge 2009 please call 08450 940226 or email [log in to unmask] Remember, Make Your Mark supports you to run enterprise activity all year round, so if you’d like to develop your enterprise capability why not run an enterprise group for students?
