Team Reactor was thrilled to return to Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) this year to run the ACSI Year 2 Pathfinder Programme. Stretching across 8 weeks, 100 cadets went through an intensive crash course as a part of our Level 1 Entrepreneurship Exploration Programme (EEP).

The cohort was divided into 4 classes, each with a different theme — Technology Entrepreneurship, Social Entrepreneurship, E-Commerce and F&B.

Having spent the past few weeks preparing and perfecting their elevator pitches and presentations, the programme concluded in Week 8 with a cohort-wide Demo Day, pitting the Top 2 teams from each class against one another through a competitive pitch.

Ultimately, one team emerged winners and received an entrepreneurship-related prize.
