With curriculum time getting busier and busier, a great way to inspire and empower students is before and after school with extracurricular programs for students. Our after school programs are fantastic at doing this and allow us to get students thinking big and focussing on cross-curricular, project-based learning as they tackle challenges, build skills and work on projects that get them thinking about the world around them and the exciting opportunities open to their generation.
With everything from designing future cities to launching influencer brands, building businesses, working with technology and more, we have a range of standard programs to choose from, or we're able to customise a program to your school community. Our after school programs typically run for 6-8 weeks and cost $30 per student per week.

About The Program
The Ideas Incubator program is designed to guide students through the early stages of brainstorming and developing a business concept. Led by an expert team of BOP facilitators, the program assists students in transforming innovative ideas into tangible business opportunities.
The program focuses on equipping students with the essential skills to identify potential business avenues. Through an exploration of product trends and different business models, students gain valuable insights into the foundation of successful enterprises.
Throughout the program, students engage in a series of mini-workshops as they work to bring their business idea to life. This includes activities such as rapid ideation, product design, user personas and branding. This program is great for teachers looking to kick-start a business unit or entrepreneurship program within their school community.
For teachers looking for a more comprehensive full-day business program, we recommend looking at our 1 or 2-day Business Builders Program.
