Entrepreneur day is one of their favourite projects of the year because we get a front-row seat to amazing creativity from young innovators… our students.
We want our students to be enterprising traders, dealmakers, self-promoters, whiz kids, movers and shakers, go-getters, and high flyers. We celebrate the ideas and the failures and the growth mindset that develops along the way.
