New Enterprise Trail Game - Digital Version

In 2014 pupils from three schools ( Gillshill Primary School, Sirius Academy and Malet Lambert) working with four young entrepreneurs from Engaging Education and some Hull young entrepreneurs who had received support from The John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank produced a board game "Hull Enterprise Trail" which showed the organisations in the city that currently supports enterprising young people.

After presenting the game to Lord Young and HRH The Duke of York in June 2015 it was decided to look at creating a digital version of the game, so in October 2015 when HRH The Duke of York visited Hull we organised a workshop to create a digital version of the game, after some initial designs the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank commissioned Kit Hargreaves of Apple Pear to develop a web based game including video to illustrate the Big 13 Enterprise Skills, the Be Enterprising Group, The Youth Enterprise Summit and Global Entrepreneurship Week.

The initial prototype design was launched in June 2015 http://hullsenterprisingtrail.co.uk designed by young people. The prototype was consulted upon via Twitter and Face book as well as with members of Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership and the Be a Enterprising Group, during the consultation we was pleased that Julia Damassa actress and former winner on BBC Dragons Den in 2010 when she gained £25,000 investment in her business Story shapes Ltd www.bbc.co.uk/dragonsden/entrepreneurs/juliadamassa.shtml kindly agreed to do a voice over for the game and with further changes it was agreed the new version will be launched in September 2015

Charles Cracknell Youth Enterprise Manager Hull City Council said

“The enterprise trail game has been a great collaborative project between pupils, young entrepreneurs and wider business and enterprise educators across the UK and we are delighted to

have secured the services of Julia Damassa to undertake the voice over for the game"

“The idea of turning the board game into a digital version came from HRH The Duke of York and we are now just a few months from launching the game for pupils in all of our schools to have access to it"

                                                     

Julia Damassa said

“I am delighted to support this great initiative as a way of explaining to the young people in Hull what organisations are out there to support them with their enterprising idea and the videos of young people explaining about the Big 13 Enterprise Skills is a great idea – the whole concept designed with pupils and young entrepreneurs clearly shows to me how enterprising young people are in Hull.”
