Wildhearts The Micro Tyco Challenge

Why this award?

Overview: The multi-award winning Micro-Tyco Challenge is an external enterprise training programme that inspires school students to take action on sustainability issues in their schools and local communities. 

It is a leading innovation and entrepreneurship competition which challenges young people to work together and develop innovative solutions to address social and environmental issues.

Schools receive learning resources that introduce sustainability, equip them with a toolkit for innovation and discuss ‘business for good’ via case studies from Schools Partner Organisations. Students are challenged to harness these new skills and knowledge, to develop their own innovations.

Engagement Opportunities:

• Provide support and guidance for young people as they refine their ideas.
• Share innovative ESG case studies from your business to help inspire students’ ideas.
• We give young people the opportunity to broaden their career horizons through volunteering and providing interactive resources developed with leading global brands.

The Micro-Tyco Challenge Finals

Schools who have entered The Micro-Tyco Challenge are invited to submit their Micro-Tyco Ideas Decks to the competition. Top teams will be invited to pitch their ideas live to a panel of judges at The Micro-Tyco Challenge Finals.
