Listened to some fantastic pitches from sixth formers today at @PwCYorksNE. Ideas were well-considered and every team dealt superbly with the dragons’ questions. @Kat_Bond_PwC @AheadP_ship

[Ahead Partnership @AheadP_ship]

Our panel of "dragons" from @PwCYorksNE are judging tech-focused solutions from students. Ranging from gamifying healthy school lunches, to AR-enhanced PE lessons to engage students of all abilities, and blockchain-reliant platforms for charitable donations. @PwC_UK_Careers

[Stephanie Burras @steffiburras]

Thanks for all your help today with our event challenge @blueberryms. It really brought it to life for the students. Lovely to see our idea take shape @fareshmaisuria!

We're helping @AheadP_ship with their #student enterprise competition today acting as reluctant event suppliers for their event brief.

The competition helps students practice their negotiation skills & we're pleased to say they're definitely convincing us! #Enterprise #Careers
