The inaugural Young Aspirers Pushcart
Competition added some buzz to RP and
the student body with its “Christmas Comes
Early” event from 25th to 28th November,
which kicked off the Christmas shopping
season.
The objective of the competition was to
provide a platform for IGs from the
Young Aspirers Club to work together on
an activity and the nature of the event
enabled IG members to meet one another
in competition on friendly terms. With
no restrictions on the ideas that IGs
could showcase, the Social Enterprise IG
invited a young entrepreneur – a
magician – to show off his magic tricks
and the new FUZE IG touched the hearts
of facilitators and students by giving
them an opportunity to deliver messages
and thanks on cards attached to apples.
Prior
to the event, students were given tips
on the basics of starting and running a
small business through workshops
conducted by our Academic Staff.
150 students competed for the following
prizes in 19 pushcarts:
The young entrepreneurs made $9,911.50
in revenue over 3 days during the lunch
hour, attracting crowds of over 1,000
students and staff.
