In a nutshell, the Allan Gray Entrepreneurship Challenge is a challenge that gamifies learning about entrepreneurship for high school learners in Forms 1 to 4 in Kenya. The challenges are designed to engage participants to act and think like entrepreneurs.
#AGEC20_KE runs for 6 weeks. Learners log on to the AGEC website or mobile app and complete a series of micro-challenges. These challenges can take 10-60min to complete depending on their complexity. Leaderboards mean that progress can be tracked by individual performance, classes, and schools.
Each challenge has a maximum number of points that can be earned for completing it. Depending on the complexity of the challenge it is worth more or less points. Easier challenges need to be completed in order to unlock the higher value, more difficult challenges.
Challenges are marked by multiple other participating learners with the help of marking rubrics. Points are earned and lost by each marker depending on how close their assessment is to the final mark awarded. If the marks awarded by various learners vary too greatly then a moderator assesses the submission and makes a final decision of the mark to be awarded.
Through #AGEC20_KE participants are exposed to useful mindsets, habits and concepts for entrepreneurs. These include exposure to Kenya’s Big Four Agenda items, such as Food Security, Affordable Housing, Universal Healthcare, and Advanced Manufacturing. Some challenges include uploading images, some are theoretical, and some require action.
On Saturday 3 August a spectacular Awards Party will be held in Nairobi to celebrate the top performers of #AGEC19_KE. Awards will be made to the top individuals, classes, teachers and schools. This will be an evening not to be missed, and just one of the reasons to work hard for one of the top spots.
• Kenyan high school learners in Forms 1-4
• Schools that want to encourage a culture of entrepreneurship in their communities
• Teachers, parents, and alumni who want to support a spirit of entrepreneurship in the school can get involved by encouraging learners to sign up and complete challenges
Learners anywhere in the country, at any high school or any home school, may register and take part in the Allan Gray Entrepreneurship Challenge. Schools can also register to receive support in running classroom activities that complement #AGEC20_KE challenges.
