Noodle is a key component of Branksome’s Innovation Agenda - a new business accelerator. Accelerators are programs that help entrepreneurs develop start-up ventures and support them in realizing their innovative ideas. Common in the post-secondary and corporate sectors, Branksome’s Noodle is the first accelerator in a Canadian high school.
Noodle teaches students to identify problems, think critically about solutions, and then bring these solutions to the real world through a viable business venture.
As in all the school’s innovation initiatives, efforts are made to connect the students’ work in Noodle, to the real world. Students taking part in Noodle will be mentored by some of the most innovative and disruptive entrepreneurs in Toronto thanks to partnerships with experts in fields such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Students then pitch their own ideas.
Clarke Agency was involved in naming and all creative development.
