Getting started

Please make sure you have registered for the competition before you get started.

Then download the Leader prep toolkit which provides competition information and guidance on how much time to allocate to the competition when it launches.

The toolkit includes a flexible schedule to help you plan around different timetables and dates, plus, it contains quick, inspiring activities to develop young peoples’ communication, problem solving, creativity and adaptability skills, alongside AI.   You don’t need to complete all of the activities to take part in the competition, instead, they offer opportunities for learners to develop the skills they’ll need for competition success. 

Entries can be submitted from the main competition page from September, when the competition launches.
