Revolutionary Thinkers Competition: Early Interest Sign-Up

The Revolutionary Thinkers programme is a free innovation and problem-solving programme for young people aged 11–18 across the UK. Its designed to help young people to explore real-world issues and develop real-world solutions. The programme aims to empower young people to:

1. Spot real problems worth solving: Learn how to notice issues in the world (and in everyday life), then choose one that genuinely matters to them.

2. Understand a problem deeply (not just the surface): Break it down: What’s happening? Where? Why? Who does it affect? — so their solution targets the real cause.

3. Think creatively and connect ideas in new ways: Combine inspiration from different subjects and experiences to generate original, realistic solution ideas.

4. Experiment, prototype, and improve through feedback: Try ideas out, learn from what doesn’t work, and iterate — building resilience and “fail-forward” confidence.

5. Communicate and pitch their solution clearly: Turn a rough idea into a compelling explanation or presentation that others can understand, support, and act on.
