We are incredibly excited to begin rolling this out and look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on students, parents, educators and schools across the global KidsMBA community.

Commenting on the milestone, Emanuella Watson Gandy-Giavarra , CEO of KidsMBA, said: "As we celebrate more than ten years of KidsMBA, this felt like the right moment to introduce the next stage in the programme's evolution. Since launching KidsMBA, our mission has been to equip young people with the entrepreneurial mindset, confidence and practical skills that will serve them throughout their lives.

We have seen thousands of students across the world develop new ideas, build confidence and discover talents they didn't know they had. The introduction of the Business Skills Assessment and Personalised Student Report is a natural progression, helping us better recognise and celebrate that growth while continuing to enhance the experience for students, parents and schools."

What happens when young people are given the opportunity to think like entrepreneurs?

One of the most rewarding outcomes of the KidsMBA programme isn't just the business knowledge students gain — it's the confidence they develop along the way.

Throughout the programme, pupils work together, share ideas, solve problems, present their concepts and learn how businesses really operate. In doing so, they build practical skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

Students develop a stronger understanding of:

✅ Communication
✅ Leadership
✅ Teamwork
✅ Problem-solving
✅ Creativity and innovation
✅ Decision-making
✅ Business and financial awareness

Perhaps most importantly, they begin to see new possibilities for their future.

Over the years, we've consistently seen a significant increase in students expressing an interest in continuing their business and entrepreneurship education after completing the programme. In many cases, this increase is around 30%. For us, that is one of the clearest indicators of impact.

After more than 10 years of helping young people develop entrepreneurial skills, we remain committed to inspiring the next generation of innovators, leaders and changemakers. 😊

Why are summer camps so important?

For many children, summer camps are much more than a way to fill the school holidays.

They provide opportunities to build confidence, develop new skills, make friends, try new experiences, and discover interests that can shape future aspirations.

Research consistently shows that children benefit from activities that encourage creativity, problem-solving, communication, teamwork, and independence — skills that are becoming increasingly important in a rapidly changing world.

That's why many schools and educational organisations choose to run KidsMBA as a summer camp programme.

Through fun, engaging, and practical activities, children learn how to think creatively, identify opportunities, solve real-world problems, develop leadership skills, and build an entrepreneurial mindset that will benefit them throughout life.

Whether they go on to become business owners, professionals, community leaders, or innovators, the confidence and future-ready skills they develop can have a lasting impact.

🌟 Build Confidence
🌟 Develop New Skills
🌟 Encourage Creativity
🌟 Strengthen Communication
🌟 Foster Leadership
🌟 Inspire Big Thinking

This summer, give young people more than just an activity. Give them an experience that helps them grow.

Schools, learning centres, and KidsMBA partners can run KidsMBA as a summer camp, providing an engaging programme that combines learning, creativity, and fun.

This bicycle was once just an idea in someone’s head.

Before bikes filled streets, parks, and playgrounds around the world… there was simply one person imagining a different way to move.
This is what it looked like.

Almost entirely made of wood, the Draisine was invented by German Baron Karl von Drais in 1817 and is recognised as the first verified bicycle invention.

Imagine if he had listened when people told him:
“That will never work.”
“Just be realistic.”
“Why change what already exists?”

But he built it anyway.

And that’s something hashtag need to understand more often:
The ideas in your head are not silly.
They are the starting point of real things.
Every invention…
Every business…
Every movement…
Every app…
Every piece of technology we now take for granted…
Started as a thought someone refused to ignore.

Yet so much of education still focuses on memorising answers instead of encouraging children to create new ones.

At KidsMBA, we believe young people should learn how to think creatively, solve problems, build ideas, communicate, innovate, and believe that they can shape the future — not just memorise the past.

Because the world does not only need people who can repeat information.
It needs people brave enough to imagine something better.
Your idea might feel small today.
But so did the first bicycle once.👌
