So , what is the Young Money Challenge ?
It ’ s an annual programme , run by Young Enterprise in partnership with Capita , which encourages children and young people to consider the connection between money management and wider issues affecting local and global communities .
Does it have a theme ?
Yes , this year ’ s focus is money management and health and wellbeing . Explore how healthy choices can impact your body , mind and finances . The challenge is for young people to create something that helps people make healthy choices for their physical , mental and financial health and wellbeing .
What sort of thing are they looking for ?
For the 11-19 age group , formats could include a poster , 3D hand-made model , board game , toy , story , article , wire frame for an app or even a song . Young people can work individually or in teams of up to four , presenting their idea in any way they wish as long as their entry is sent in a 2D format ( for example , photographs of a 3D model ).
Entries should demonstrate a clear link between money management and health and wellbeing , so it must be evident how the item created could help people make healthy choices for their physical , mental and financial health and wellbeing .
How can teachers , parents or caregivers help ?
Young Enterprise has created teaching materials for each age group , designed to develop students ’ understanding of money management and health and wellbeing and to inspire thoughtful , creative challenge entries . For 11- to 19 year-olds , there are three activities plus a healthy choices quiz to be used in class , a homelearning guide and a health and wellbeing support sheet .
HOW CAN YOUNG PEOPLE ENTER ?
All the challenge details and learning materials , including terms and conditions and information on how to enter , can be downloaded from Young Enterprise . Entries must be submitted before midnight on 31 March 2021 .
How will entries be judged ?
The judges will consider the rationale behind each creation as well as the learning demonstrated , rather than the format used . They will be looking for a comprehensive awareness of issues and a creative , thoughtful idea .
