High school crispmakers onto a winner

PUPILS at Banbridge High School will prove if they have the crisp factor on Thursday after making it to the final of the InnoTAYTOrs challenge.

The business project, created by Young Enterprise NI and famous crisp brand Tayto, will see students pitch their ideas to a panel of expert judges in a Dragon’s Den style event in April.

High school pupils, who have a chance to win 5,000 plus a laptop each, have come up with a well-received Southern Fried Tayto Wedges proposal and will face the judges, which will include a surprise celebrity guest, on April 15.

“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.”
