CREATING ENTREPRENEURS: YOUNG ENTERPRISE UK FINAL
CELEBRATING ART
Team Utopia won through to the Young Enterprise UK Finals – the first time King’s High has been represented in National Finals. We are very proud of all our Young Enterprise teams, who won awards across Warwickshire and Worcestershire in the regional rounds for their business acumen, and skills in Branding, Presentation and Sustainability. Driven by their mission to promote sustainability to future generations, Utopia created an educational board game, Wildlife Wanderers. The game presents four different habitats – Arctic, Desert, Rainforest and Sea. It is beautifully made, featuring hand-drawn illustrations, and 100% sustainable, right down to the spray paint used. It is a really fun, interactive family game. Players act out physical traits of endangered animals (‘sea turtles cluck and whine’), while other players guess which animal and learn about their behaviour and plight. A classic game in the making? We think so. You can order Wildlife Wanderers (£15) from Utopia’s website, utopiaenterprise.co.uk. All our students have worked like true entrepreneurs, showing resilience, determination, initiative, and a willingness to take risks. The girls had to overcome many challenges; Covid -19 initially prevented them from manufacturing their products and taking the next steps. However, the girls displayed fantastic spirit, rose to the challenge, and excelled!
