Ballymoney High has the Crisp Factor!

The students are celebrating this week with the news that they have made it through to the InnoTAYTOrs Challenge final.

The InnoTAYTOrs Challenge - a unique project created by Young Enterprise Northern Ireland and Tayto – is culminating with a Dragons’ Den event next month.

The students will pitch their ‘Tayto Gangsters’ proposal to a panel of experts including: Carol Fitzsimons, Chief Executive, Young Enterprise Northern Ireland; Paul Allen, Chief Executive, Tayto Group; Graeme Finnegan, entrepreneur and founder of Grounded Coffee; and a surprise celebrity guest yet to be announced.

One of the students involved with the InnoTAYTOrs Challenge says:

“We are so excited to have made it through to the Grand Final. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who took the time to vote for our schools’ project. We are really looking forward to experiencing the Dragons’ Den style event. Although it will be quite daunting to present in front of a large audience; it is a fantastic experience and one that we feel privileged to participate.”

The InnoTAYTOrs Challenge Dragons’ Den Grand Final event is taking place on Thursday 15th April at W5, Odyssey. The Ballymoney High School team will be hoping they can impress the panel of experts to secure the top prize – a 5,000 cash prize and a laptop for each of the six members of the team.
