10X Enterprise Challenge Journey

The 10X Enterprise Challenge at Croydon High School proved to be a transformative and enriching experience for its pupils. Over four weeks, the program cultivated a range of valuable skills, enhancing the students’ entrepreneurial acumen. The Year 10 pupils developed critical thinking and decision-making abilities by navigating real-world business scenarios, fostering adaptability and strategic analysis.
