Program Overview
The School Pitch Tank is an exciting educational program designed to spark creativity and entrepreneurial thinking among students. Inspired by popular TV pitch shows, this program allows schools to host a competition where students pitch their innovative business ideas to a panel of judges. It provides a dynamic, hands-on experience that encourages students to think critically, work collaboratively, and develop skills that are essential for their future success.

Program Highlights
The School Pitch Tank program begins with an introductory speech by Nathan Baws, a seasoned entrepreneur and business expert. Nathan will engage students with his insights on entrepreneurship, business growth, and the power of a winning mindset. His speech sets the stage for the program by inspiring students to think big, embrace innovation, and understand the importance of perseverance and creativity in the entrepreneurial journey.
Following the speech, schools receive a comprehensive toolkit that includes all the tools, systems, and formats needed to produce a successful entrepreneurial pitch event.
