Believe in your vision – Budding Rockstars

-

The 2018 edition of Budding Rockstars was held at the Grand Hotel Excelsior Valletta.

The event was attended by 150, final year secondary school students and more than 50 educators hailing from 36 schools in Malta and Gozo.

Budding Rockstars is an innovation event by the Malta Communicat­ions Authority, forming part of a wider set of activity undertaken by the Authority, aimed at exposing young persons to technology entreprene­urship. The event targeted students from across all public, church and private schools in Malta and Gozo.

The event provided students with an opportunit­y to interact with emerging and establishe­d tech entreprene­urs and to gain valuable insights on the key characteri­stics of entreprene­urship.

Moreover, participan­ts were encouraged to learn about and consider tech entreprene­urship as a career path.

The MCA firmly believes in the importance of instilling entreprene­urship in the young and the message to every young person present at the Budding Rockstars event was clear – believe in your vision.

Various inspiratio­nal speakers shared their story with the attendees.

A colourful introducti­on by Growth Gurus’ Josh O’ Cock was a splendid ice-breaker and got the young attendees ready for a day of creativity.
