Students from the Langley School District are all set to dive deep into the world of entrepreneurship! They are rolling up their sleeves and getting ready to tackle real-world problems with the 2025 IDEA-X Challenge. This one-of-a-kind extracurricular project is an exclusive opportunity for these students to flex their entrepreneurial muscles, make a positive social difference, and unleash their creativity and innovation skills.
But what exactly is the IDEA-X Challenge? It’s a platform where students learn to innovate and market their ideas, and sharpen their financial savvy. The challenge is open to teams of grade 8-12 students who are eager to understand what it takes to collaborate effectively and to work through the design thinking process towards a viable solution to a real-world problem.
The IDEA-X Challenge isn’t just about coming up with ideas. It’s about going through a rigorous schedule of research, development, prototype testing, feedback analysis and multiple iterations. After 4 months, their journey will culminate in the Eliminations Challenge whereby the contenders submit detailed digital PR Kits for assessment and present their ideas to a panel of esteemed judges.
IDEA-X Challenge wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of sponsors. They not only provide the financial backing needed to run this initiative but are also encouraged to participate and serve as judges in our students’ journey towards a vision of the future.
