Young Innovator Days

Engaging Events For High School Students That Showcase Your Organisation & Future Pathways.

Spark Curiosity. Build Skills. Shape The Future.

 

A Young Innovator Day is a one-day, conference-style event that brings together high school students to explore future careers, build enterprise skills, and connect directly with your industry. Designed and delivered the BOP team of innovative educators in collaboration with your team, these events combine real-world insight with hands-on learning to create an experience that is both inspiring and impactful.

Throughout the day, students engage in keynotes, innovation challenges, and team-based desgin thinking, all aligned to your sector. They hear from industry professionals, tackle real-world problems, and explore what a future in your field could look like beyond the stereotypes.

For our industry partners, Young Innovator Days offer a powerful platform to promote career pathways, build brand awareness, and position your organisation as a leader in workforce development and youth engagement. Whether you’re aiming to inspire students, support schools, or strengthen your talent pipeline, these events are designed to deliver lasting value for everyone involved.
