More than just Financial Literacy – Our Starz Youth Enterprise course turns young people into the CEO’s of tomorrow.
Pitching isn’t about “acting like a grown-up”. It’s about learning to explain an idea clearly, prove it solves a real problem, and show how it can earn money responsibly.
In Starz Academy, young people build a simple pitch step-by-step — and mentoring can support practice, feedback, and confidence before they present.
Pitching teaches the stuff schools rarely make practical: speaking clearly, structuring thoughts, handling questions, and being honest with numbers. Even if your child never raises investment, they’ll use these skills for life.
They learn to explain what they do in under 60 seconds — without rambling or freezing.
Practice answering questions builds resilience (and reduces fear of being judged).
They learn simple profit logic: price, costs, and what “success” actually means.
We keep it structured and age-appropriate. Your child works through a clear set of steps and ends with a pitch they can deliver confidently.
Who is it for? What problem does it solve? How do we know the problem is real?
What makes it better? What’s the evidence (research, feedback, testing, prototype)?
How does it earn money? What are the costs? What does profit look like?
They present it, get feedback, and learn to handle questions calmly and clearly.
Not 15 slides. Just the essentials — clean, clear, believable.
We teach “investment thinking” as a learning tool — not risky finance. The focus is skills: planning, decision-making, and communication.
You don’t need to be “businessy” to support your child. We give structure, prompts, and simple milestones.
Simple pitch prompts that stop kids getting stuck or overcomplicating everything.
Progress happens in small steps: 15–30 minutes at a time, not endless homework.
They get better at explaining, answering questions, and thinking through decisions.
No fluff — just what you actually need to know.
The style can be fun, but the goal is skills — clarity, planning, money thinking and confidence. We keep it supportive, age-appropriate and practical.
No. They can pitch an idea, a prototype, or a small test. In fact, starting small is encouraged — it makes learning safer and more realistic.
That’s common. We build confidence gradually: scripts, prompts, low-pressure practice, and (optionally) mentoring to rehearse and get calm feedback.
Pitching pulls together the core modules: idea development, customers, marketing, money, and planning — it’s where everything becomes a clear “story” your child can explain.
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.
