About HSBH Established in 2006 by the DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University. Our mission: To inspire and motivate high school youth about post secondary studies and attract the brightest young minds to university programs in business. Our means: Offer a challenging, competitive and rewarding experiential learning activity that engages high school students as well as their teachers / mentors. University students act as peer leaders to share their experience and expertise to get the best effort from each high school team. The rewards: Hundreds of dollars in prize money for the top three teams and their schools. Importantly, learning opportunities that truly inspire and motivate each team to win and pursue a brighter future. The details: Students from various school boards across Ontario will join together in teams of 2-4 to compete and develop a solution to a business challenge presented by an industry sponsor. Example: in 2012 Hamilton Bulldogs asked teams to address the business problem of low home game attendance. Students received coaching from McMaster University students and alumni, where given free tickets to experience a game, and were encouraged to conduct market research before developing their creative solutions. The timing: January- Registration opens and schools receive info on the program. McMaster University students run info sessions at high schools February- Registration closes and the challenge is announced Feb / March- Mentoring begins with coaching sessions offered at McMaster University by industry leaders and alumni. April- High school youth submit their reports and the finalists are announced May- Finals are held at McMaster University and winners announced. Why HSBH?
