Café Venture Experience

Student Venture Cohort 1 — Café Venture Experience is a 15-session real-world entrepreneurship experience where children explore how businesses, customers and experiences come together.

Through the café industry as a context, students learn how to observe opportunities, create concepts, collaborate, communicate ideas and present their venture journey.

It is designed to help children experience entrepreneurship, not just learn about it.

No.

The Café Venture Experience is not a baking or cooking class.

The café industry is used as a real-world context to help students understand entrepreneurship, customer experiences, branding, teamwork and business thinking.

Students explore how different elements come together to create a venture experience.

This cohort is designed for children aged 8–14 years.

The activities are structured to be age-appropriate while encouraging creativity, communication, collaboration and real-world thinking.

No prior experience is required.

The programme is designed for children who are curious and interested in exploring how ideas become meaningful experiences.

The journey comes together with a Venture Experience Showcase.
