WA’s Tech Future: From Industry Leaders to Rising Stars
The team that recently won the Year 5 ESSTEAM Pitch Night had the opportunity to pitch their ideas at West Tech Fest, an event connecting local startup founders and entrepreneurs and showcasing the best of Australia’s technology innovation.
Part of our ESSTEAM program, the entrepreneurial journey begins in Year 5 as students delve into the essence of entrepreneurship. Students explore the meaning of being an entrepreneur, examine their personality traits, master teamwork and compromise, and understand the systematic approach to problem-solving.
These acquired skills then take centre stage as students creatively repurpose used plastic waste into innovative products. The culmination of their hard work unfolds at the Year 5 Pitch Night when students present their budding business ideas before a captivated audience.
This year, the winning group, Beach Buddy, was lucky enough to present at the Young Entrepreneur Showcase, where our students proposed their business ideas and received feedback.
St Hilda’s has proudly attended for the past three years, and it was an excellent opportunity for the students to not only share their ideas but also see the innovation and opportunity happening in WA.
