Meet the 2020 BiG Challenge Teams!
The BiG Challenge is an enterprise competition open to all secondary school students and college students in Sheffield. Every year we have a range of budding entrepreneurs in Year 9 who, individually or in teams, start and grow businesses with an initial £25 investment. Over a six-month period they aim to increase the value of the business by as much as possible through teamwork, innovation and entrepreneurship. Let’s take a look at the 2020 teams!

Comprising pupils Ellen, Isbah, Lily and Chuxuan, Team Hearty was born out of Ellen’s lockdown activity of making jewellery for her friends and family.
