BOP Industries - How To Start A Side Hustle (School Workshop)

How To Start A Side Hustle is a concise, classroom-focused workshop that shows high school students how they can establish and manage a small side business while still at school. The session is hands-on and practical, guiding students through the fundamental elements of launching a business, including customer personas, branding and product design.

Students begin with a rapid ideation design sprint where they are challenged to generate multiple business concepts, then explore topics such as minimum viable products, pricing, pitching and marketing. The workshop is adaptable in length (1 hour, 2 hours, or half day) so it can be used as a short taster or a deeper practical masterclass depending on a school's needs.

The program is aimed at educators looking to introduce entrepreneurship in a time-efficient way and is delivered by trained BOP facilitators in school classrooms. Schools can enquire or book a free 15-minute call with the BOP team to discuss tailoring the program to their context.
