School

Over 56,000 secondary school and college students across the UK have come up with an entrepreneurial idea inspired by the Olympic and Paralympic values. This year’s Make Your Mark Challenge 2008 sparked off some powerful ideas, many focused on taking forward the legacy of London 2012 and using sport to tackle social issues.

The strongest entries competed in the National Final, held yesterday (Tuesday 9 December). The following ideas were awarded with prizes:

Make Your Mark believes that every young person has the capacity to make their mark by harnessing enterprising ideas, skills and talents to bring ideas to life.

Enterprise can bring learning to life by relating it to real life experiences.  Enterprising activities are motivational and can engage young people by showing them how they can make a positive contribution to their community whilst developing ideas that could make or save money.
