Competitions & Special Events
The EBeBP offer a range of competitions and special events that
combine business and enterprise in engaging and challenging
formats.
An annual business and enterprise competition, teams of
6th Form students take an initial £100 stake and turn it
into as much as possible through fundraising, donating their
hard-earned profits to Thames Hospicecare. The competition's final
coincides with Global Entrepreneurship Week. For the last two years
Max the Cash has been recognised with an award for High Impact
Event.
An interschool competition for Year 7 students, who must solve
mathematical problems posed in three rounds of questions, supplied
to the school. Upon completion, each school selects a team of 3
students to represent their school at the final. The final is held
on the premises of a local company.
Judged by professionals from the catering industry, this
culinary challenge involved teams of 3 students planning and
preparing a healthy meal for a special occasion. Schools run heats
to find their best team to represent them in the final.
- Eton Technology Challenge
Held at Eton College in their great hall, teams of students from
different schools in East Berkshire and Hounslow work alongside one
another to bring to life an engineering challenge presented to
them.
Science, Engineering and Technology career possibilities are on
show for a one-day event to present to students the huge areas of
opportunity within the sector. Students have the chance to try
their hand at experiments, handle cutting edge technology, and most
essentially, meet the engineers, technicians and scientists behind
it all!
