Cracking little programme!My lad’s always got big ideas and Starz helped him plan a market stall! The YoungStarz stuff’s fun and that Youth Business Expo got him buzzing about youth enterprise.
James WilsonDad, Sheffield★★★★★
Really Fun Course!She’s hooked! My daughter can’t get enough of Starz’s financial games and videos. She’s learning to pitch her own shop idea in SuperStarz and our family can’t keep her quiet at dinner time, luckily the mentors are much more eager to listen!
Mei-Ling ChenMum, Cardiff★★★★★
Great for Kids!You guys got my son sorting budgets and dreaming up a business in no time. The ACTION Camp was ace, proper hands on youth enterprise stuff that he really enjoyed.
Daniel HarrisDad, Liverpool★★★★★
Boss Mode!Starz was really good, my girl improved her financial literacy and planned a startup and is on to her next side hustle already. The online Hub keeps her going and she’s dead chuffed with her progress.

Next Elon!The focus on youth enterprise is brilliant, my son went from budgeting basics to designing his own app in SuperStarz. The ACTION Camp was priceless for his ambition!
