Journey
Reviews and activity guides
A few notes from students and parents, plus practical guides to competitions and extracurriculars we help prepare for.
Program review
“We finished a real pitch, not a practice deck.”
Grade 11 student, Activity Mentoring (investment). Eight weeks with a buy-side mentor: idea selection, a short memo, and mock Q&A before the Wharton Global Youth window. The hard part was narrowing one thesis—not learning slide templates.
Program review
“The placement was in consulting ops—not a brand name on a poster.”
Parent of a first-year university student. Online internship (8 weeks, part-time) with a professional-services team: weekly manager notes, a scoped research workstream, certificate and recommendation at the end. We chose the category (ops / research) over chasing a logo.
Activity guide
Wharton Global High School Investment Competition
Team stock pitch for high-school students: research a public company, write a thesis, and present to judges. Strong fit if you can defend valuation and risks out loud—not only paste charts.
- · Team format (often 3–5)
- · Investment memo + pitch
- · Judging emphasizes thesis clarity and Q&A
Typical deadline window: Registration typically opens in fall; written / pitch rounds run into winter–spring (confirm on Wharton Global Youth each year).
Activity guide
Diamond Challenge (University of Delaware)
High-school entrepreneurship competition with innovation and social-innovation tracks. Written concept first; finalists pitch. Judges look for customer evidence and a crisp problem—not a long vision slide.
- · High-school teams
- · Written + pitch stages
- · Lean venture story
Typical deadline window: Written submissions usually due in late fall / early winter; finals in spring (check diamondchallenge.org).
Activity guide
Hult Prize
Global student venture competition focused on social impact. Campus and regional rounds lead toward a large finals stage. Best when the team has interviewed real users and can show unit economics, not only a mission statement.
- · Team venture
- · Impact + business case
- · Multi-round pitch path
Typical deadline window: Campus / regional calendars vary; many cycles run through the academic year (see hultprize.org).
Activity guide
John Locke Institute Essay Competition
Subject essays in philosophy, politics, economics, history, psychology, theology, and law. Prestige comes from argument quality and sources—not from sounding “impressive.” Pick a prompt you can actually finish.
- · Individual essay
- · Strict word limits
- · Subject-based prompts
Typical deadline window: Usually late spring / early summer submission window (confirm johnlockeinstitute.com each year).
Activity guide
Scholastic Art & Writing Awards
Long-running US awards across writing and art categories. Useful for students who already have drafts or portfolios; regional judging feeds national rounds. Categories and eligibility differ by region—read the year’s guidelines carefully.
- · Many categories
- · Regional → national path
- · Portfolio / single-piece options
Typical deadline window: Regional deadlines often fall in December–January (artandwriting.org).
Activity guide
Conrad Challenge
STEM entrepreneurship challenge: design a product or service around a real problem, then defend feasibility. Strong for teams that can show prototypes, testing, or engineering constraints—not only a pitch narrative.
- · STEM + venture
- · Team-based
- · Prototype / feasibility focus
Typical deadline window: Registration and submission windows typically open in the fall (conradchallenge.org).
Activity guide
Regeneron ISEF / science fair track
Project-based STEM: question, method, data, and board. Distinct from olympiad math—this is research or engineering you can defend in an interview. Affiliated fairs feed into ISEF; timing depends on your local fair.
- · Research or engineering project
- · Abstract + board
- · Interview judging
Typical deadline window: Local / affiliated fair dates vary; ISEF is typically mid-May (societyforscience.org).
Activity guide
Blue Ocean Entrepreneurship Competition
Emphasizes uncontested market space (strategy canvas, non-customers). Teams that only rename a crowded feature usually struggle; the coaching goal is an honest ERRC story and a pitch judges can score.
- · Strategy canvas
- · Team pitch
- · Differentiation over hype
Typical deadline window: Annual cycle—check blueoceancompetition.org for the current submission window.
