The Moravian-Silesian Technological Academy hosted the regional round of the Czechskills 2024 competition. In the category of Entrepreneurship Support, the participants were given a task that they had to process in the most attractive way within 3 hours and then present their business plans in front of the expert jury and other participants. The chosen theme was in the spirit of sustainable production of products for the modern household. Twelve teams from secondary schools presented their projects, focusing on ecology and innovation, and competed to advance to the national round.
Ideas for the modern household
The teams worked on a variety of projects aimed at providing solutions for a greener and more sustainable lifestyle. Some of the business ideas presented included eco-friendly cleaning products, recyclable tea towels, 3D printer cartridges made from recycled plastics, and even an automatic irrigation system for smart homes. Some teams focused on renovating older furniture with added value or creating an eco-friendly composter that can turn food scraps into useful gardening material.
Competition results
The competition culminated in a results ceremony after the team presentations. The first place was won by Vojtěch Grendysa and Filip Sokol from the Secondary School of Teleinformatics in Ostrava-Poruba. The second and third place went to the teams from the Secondary Industrial School of Construction in Havířov, composed of Ondřej Kaňok and Martin Duháček. The second advancing pair representing SPŠS in Havířov were David Firla and Kryštof Skokan. The fourth place was taken by students from the Gymnasium and Secondary Industrial School of Electrical Engineering and Informatics in Frenštát pod Radhoštěm, Matouš Vávra and Šimon Sagan. Fifth place was secured by Monika Šenkeříková and Ivana Wirthová from the Secondary Medical School and Higher Vocational School of Health in Ostrava.
The special prize for creativity and innovation went to Patrik Gasidlo and Jan Friedrich from the Secondary School of Industry and Business Academy in Bruntál, who impressed the jury with their original approach.
Direction Brno: National round is waiting
All successful teams will now face the national round of the Czechskills 2024 competition, which will take place in Brno on 22-23 November 2024.
The regional advancement round was full of energy and creative ideas, and showcased young talents who are showing the way to their own entrepreneurship and thoughtful business. The competition was proof that even high school students can come up with practical solutions that have the potential to positively impact the future.
