Ideas needed - Yr 8 Enterprise

Oh wise mums netters - I need your ideas and inspiration.
My Yr 8 daughter is part of a group participating in a (voluntary) enterprise competition. Her group needs to come up with an idea that is passable. I wouldn't normally ask for help with school work, except she has found lock down really hard (low self esteem, had break down halfway through, had counselling, trying really hard to make Yr 8 a success fro herself). She is part of a group with some lovely, if dominating, friends and they are trying to come up with an idea for an enterprise. I just want her to have a positive experience and to do something that doesn't end in disaster. Do you have any ideas / know of anything that has worked that she could contribute to her group and feel something other than failure? I don't need her group to win, just to have not embarrassed themselves. Many, many thanks in advance for your ideas!!!

It’s great that your daughter has volunteered for this as hopefully it will teach her some skills also help With confidence.

I take it they have to come up with their own brief of what their products is. How about something like an online course that teaches high school age people about managing mental health, stress, build esteem and confidence etc? It something that I think has a huge gap in the market and most of her peers would relate to in some way which would hopefully allow all in her team a chance to voice their opinions.also being a digital product makes it relevant to the target audience.

As a business owner I purchase online courses to broaden my skill set and knowledge, I also do them for things like how to be more Productive, about being a woman in business and have done them in mindset too. It’s a widely growing market and people make serious money off of creating and selling them.

In terms of business model for them to reference it would be no bull business school. They’re not targeted to children and teens but it may give some ideas on execution and concept.
