Kickstart 2021 Interschool Business Pitch Competition O
n 23 March 2021, we attended “Kickstart 2021,” an event organised by the British College at Sripatum University. Our team won the top position in the Business Pitch competition. Within a month, we synthesized a business plan and created highly relevant visual aids in order to persuasively pitch the business proposal to a panel of judges. Our Business pitch, under the name “Biorepaire,” featured a product that can be used as an alternative to traditional adhesive bandages. The bandage is made from banana stalks that contain an essential chemical called prolactin, which when reacted with blood can swiftly and efficiently trigger the blood clotting factors in our body. Furthermore, this product allows us to take advantage of the excessive supply of banana stalks in Thailand and is also an opportunity to help local farmers in Thailand during the recession brought about by the pandemic.

Following this experience and our victory, we realized the importance of flexibility and adaptability when working collaboratively. In order to reach our full potential as a team, we had to relax some of our standards, accept constructive criticisms and turn challenges into opportunities. No matter how much we disagreed at times, creative conflicts made us more ‘polished’. We also learn to support each other in the intensive learning journey. Overall, it was an extremely valuable experience. Written by: BamBam, JL, Nicky, Pinn, and Prae - Grade 11
