The B!G Idea

During a chilly December, we were thrilled to have the support of family and friends who helped pack 500 swag bags for our inaugural year of The Big Idea. Packed with love and sanitised hands, each and every one of the Swag bags contained all the materials our students need for our 15-week programme.


500 Swag Bags Packed with Purpose for The B!G Idea Students

During a chilly December, our team gathered with family and friends to prepare for something special. Together, we packed 500 Swag Bags for the very first year of The B!G Idea. With sanitised hands and plenty of enthusiasm, we filled each bag with everything students would need for our 15-week creative thinking programme.


Inclusivity at the Core

From day one, inclusivity has shaped The B!G Idea. We believe every student deserves equal access to the tools required to participate fully. Therefore, we provide all materials directly to students, ensuring no one misses out.

As a result, every learner can engage equally in the creative process — regardless of background.


What’s Inside the 2021 Swag Bag?

Our 2021 Swag Bag (packed with love) included:

  • A custom B!G Idea T-shirt
  • A journal ready to capture ideas
  • A purpose-driven pen
  • A “pencil of power”
  • Post-it notes for brainstorming
  • Lego bricks for systems thinking
  • Lego glasses (because creativity needs fun!)
  • Scissors
  • Sellotape
  • A pencil case
  • The B!G Idea Project Brief overview

Finally, we housed everything in a custom-designed B!G Idea Swag Bag.


Free for Every Student

Importantly, we provide every Swag Bag completely free of charge to students, parents and schools. This wouldn’t be possible without the support of our incredible partners. Their funding allows us to deliver this hands-on creative toolkit to hundreds of young learners. So here’s a huge B!G thank you to everyone who helped make it happen.
