Student projects at The B!G Idea are at the heart of the programme and showcase how creativity, teamwork and innovation come together in education. Over the past year, you may have heard us talk about student submissions, creative journeys and our exciting B!G Showcase. While student projects are a key part of the programme, they are also just one element of a wider creative learning experience.
Each student team completes three submissions. Together, these form the overall project and contribute to the final grade. Throughout the process, students explore real-world challenges and develop creative solutions.
First, students create an A3 poster that illustrates their step-by-step learning journey.
They show what they discovered during research and explain how this influenced their thinking.
To bring their ideas to life, students use:
As a result, this poster tells the story of their creative process from start to finish.
Next, students design a second A3 poster that presents their final proposal.
Each team selects one key topic and identifies a “hero” — the person who benefits from their solution.
This poster explains:
Consequently, students learn how to connect creativity with real-world impact.
Finally, students produce a short video presentation.
In this video, they introduce their team and explain their project, proposal and chosen hero.
They also reflect on:
Students can choose any format or style. Therefore, each video becomes a unique and creative expression of their work.
One of the most inspiring aspects of The B!G Idea student projects is teamwork. Students collaborate, share ideas and refine their thinking together. In doing so, they learn how to solve real-life challenges creatively.
The topics they explore reflect issues faced by communities today. However, students bring fresh thinking and new perspectives. Their creativity, enthusiasm and curiosity often lead to innovative and unexpected solutions.
At the end of the programme, mentors review the student projects. Each mentor is assigned three projects and follows a structured grading system to ensure fairness and consistency.
After judging, all projects are displayed on the Exhibition page of The B!G Idea website — a space filled with creativity, innovation and inspiration.
More than 2,000 students are ready to develop their ideas and need support from industry mentors. By joining The B!G Idea community, you can help shape the next generation of creative thinkers and problem-solvers.
Be a B!G Mentor and make an impact today.
