ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

A supersquad is a group of 100 teenagers aged between 13-18 years old. Each squad is run in partnership with corporates and other organisations who set a real-life challenge for the Squad to work on. This allows these organisations to harness the creativity of young people and future-proof their businesses, whilst giving teenagers the opportunity to learn innovation and helping to give them the confidence and skills needed to bring their ideas to life.
