Online Experiences and Mentoring from real people, so your 10-14 year old child can change the world.
Your child gets the skills they will need in their future, so that they can move forwards with confidence and be prepared for what’s coming.
By embracing your child’s natural curiosity and encouraging their entrepreneurial spirit, we give them the motivation to act on their ambitions and to pursue the opportunities ahead of them.
As your child gets the freedom to be bold with their ideas, they gain the mindset that they can achieve anything they want.
We’ve partnered with these schools and organisations who share the same vision that we do.
We're focusing on the three areas that the children of today will need to approach the world of tomorrow.
All about how to create businesses - be they startups or charities. Your child can discover the skills, test ideas to see them grow, and start their journey to becoming an entrepreneur.
Not sure what they want to be when they grow up? This is the place to start exploring. They can find out what kind of jobs people do & how they got there.
This is all about the individual! Do they want to get better at public speaking? This is the space where we help take your child to the next level.
72% of secondary school students want to start a business.
Young adults who have greater levels of contact with employers whilst at school can expect to earn up to 18% more than peers who had no such exposure.
68% of secondary school teachers believe that students don’t currently have the soft skills needed to prepare them for the workplace.

Get fast answers to the most common questions that our customers have about 8billionideas
To access 8billionideas your child should have access to a Desktop or a laptop (Windows or iOS) with Zoom installed on it. An instruction on how to download and install it can be found here.
Yes you can! We run experiences across the UK day so your child is sure to find an experience time that works for them. All time will be local to the UK though.
Completely down to you! Our content has been written keeping in mind this age group, but we know there will be students of other ages who would love to take part and that's completely a decision between you and your child. Please bear in mind that the live experiences will be delivered by Zoom, so they have to be comfortable to be able to join it. We know many of our courses will appeal to many age groups. Probably the best thing you can do is give it a try and make the decisions yourselves.
All content will be delivered by facilitators in English. Self-paced courses and videos will be accessible 24/7 for your child to consume. Live experiences will occur for up to 12 hours each day in UK Local Time, to begin with, every weekend and every day of every holiday. This will mean that your child will be able to access live experiences when they want to. As the year goes on, we will be moving towards having experiences running for 15-18 hours a day to allow for further opportunities for young people no matter where they are in the world.
It is our duty to give your child the skills and belief to change the world. Once a child has completed their trial and becomes an 8billionideas student, they will get hundreds of opportunities in the coming months and years to take part in more experiences, courses and consume our content. They will begin to collect badges of completion to be able to show on their school, their college or University applications in the future and amaze a future employer about going above and beyond with skills that really matter. Parents will begin to understand even more about what their child is passionate about and help them with their career choices in the years ahead.
As you can imagine, to be able to provide world-class education daily with experts delivering live experiences to students around the world, does cost some money. We've worked so hard to keep our monthly subscription down as much as we possibly can, without it impacting the education that we want to deliver at the standard we want to deliver. We hope that many parents and carers will see this, but we do also understand that there will be parents and carers out there who come across 8billionideas, fall in love with it, but can't afford the monthly subscription. Please email hello@8billionideas.com if that's the case and we'll kick off the application for our scholarship programme. We will have limited places on this, so please only apply if you really are in this situation, because otherwise, you will be taking the place of a child who really does need it.

Although we know there are many on/off subscription options out there, it's not something you can do when it comes to education. Every piece of project work submitted will receive a piece of video feedback from the team and a written comment. This is stored on your child's profile and accessible through the parent dashboard. When an account isn't renewed, the data can only be held for a certain period of time before it is deleted. Your child's work could be saved on their device, but in regards to their progress report and our record of the completion of their experiences and skills gained, we will have to go back to the start. It's for this reason why we don't have an on/off feature.
