‘Start-Up Superstars’ (SSS) initiative has taken inspiration from the Government initiative of ‘Make in India’ and ‘The School Enterprise Challenge’ India’ together with the CBSE’s mission to develop key 21st-century skills amongst students including critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, collaboration and creativity by allowing students to experience being young entrepreneurs in the school.
Start-up businesses owned, staffed and operated by students.
Examples of what students learnt through this programme can be seen through this video.
Core Guiding Principles of SSS:
-
Students are given hands-on experience in planning, launching and running a real business, which is owned and operated by them.
-
The school provides an amount (decided by the school) to each class to set up and run the chosen Business.
-
The Business is sustainable and may grow and develop year-on-year.
-
SSS is integrated across the curriculum.
-
One Business per class is ultimately chosen, with each class member having a designated role in the Business Team structure.
-
Students further develop and practise key 21st-century skills including critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, collaboration and creativity.
-
Learners take risks in a safe and supported environment to conceive their ideas, develop their thought processes and put their plans into action.
