BP Business Challenge

Recently, Year 12 and 13 students at Ōtaki College were given a taste of the business world when they took part in the BP Business Challenge. The students worked in teams to create a business plan to market or sell a designed product. The ideas for products included Hauora Apps, Mobile Clothes Drying gadgets (to take tramping), Isolation Entertainment Packs, Automated Shopping Trolleys for contactless shopping ... to name just a few.

On Friday, the student's ideas and business plans were presented before a panel of judges - our Ōtaki business experts who gave the college teams really useful advice.

A big thanks to our judges and the BP Business Challenge Crew. A huge congratulations must go to all of the students who participated. Their ability to work together, independent thinking and innovative ideas were certainly evident.
