More than just Financial Literacy – Our Starz Youth Enterprise course turns young people into the CEO’s of tomorrow.
More than just Financial Literacy – Our Starz Youth Enterprise course turns young people into the CEO’s of tomorrow.
The Business Investment Simulator helps young people practise real-life decision-making: spend vs save, pricing, reinvesting, managing costs, and learning what “good risk” actually means.
Parents love it because it turns financial literacy into something practical — and mentoring can be used to talk through decisions, mistakes, and improvements.
No real money. Just realistic scenarios that build habits: planning, thinking ahead, learning from mistakes, and making better decisions next time.
We focus on the fundamentals that actually matter: decision-making, trade-offs, and understanding consequences.
Learners practise allocating money across stock, marketing, tools, and saving — with real trade-offs.
Price vs cost vs profit. They learn why “sales” isn’t the same as “success”.
They see the result of choices: safe decisions, bold tests, and what to do when it goes wrong.
Learners work through short “what would you do?” rounds. Each round teaches a lesson — and builds confidence.
You’ve got £50. Do you spend on branding, stock, or marketing first — and why?
Raise prices, keep them steady, or offer bundles? Track what happens to sales and profit.
A cost appears (delivery, materials, refunds). Can they adapt without panic?
Profit comes in. Do they reinvest for growth or save for stability?
We don’t just tell them the answer. We help them explain their thinking, spot patterns, and choose a better strategy next round — this is real financial literacy.
Tip: if your child is younger (7–11) or easily discouraged, weekly mentoring can help build steady momentum.
Quick answers to what parents usually ask.
No. It’s a simulator designed to teach thinking and habits. Learners practise decision-making with safe, age-appropriate scenarios and reflect on outcomes.
Starz Academy supports ages 7–17. The simulator can be adjusted by age and confidence level — younger learners focus on simple choices; older learners explore deeper strategy.
It builds the muscle of thinking ahead: budgeting, planning, avoiding impulse decisions, understanding trade-offs, and learning what happens when costs change.
Mentoring helps learners explain decisions, improve strategy, and build confidence — especially when they make mistakes. It’s the difference between “playing it” and actually learning from it.
PS: We've designed the Simulator to feel much more “game-like” than anything else!
Nu FOCUS Education CIC is a non-profit community organisation empowering young people through creative, skills based learning. Alongside our flagship Youth Enterprise course – Starz, we deliver workshops and projects that build confidence, wellbeing and future ready skills.
