For Principals, Teachers & Coaches

Turn Your School Into
A Real-World Startup Classroom.

Blastbeat helps young people aged 14–18 in schools and 14–34 in sports clubs and community programmes run real events, earn real profits, and fund real climate action.

Students form an Event Social Enterprise, plan concerts and tournaments, work with sponsors, and handle real money. They keep 75% of profits and invest 25% in climate projects they choose. One class, one term, one real business.

why principals & teachers love it

Five Reasons This Just Works.

A ready-to-run programme. Curriculum-aligned. Teacher-friendly. With real, measurable outcomes.

🎓

Curriculum-aligned, project-based

Students set up a real Event Social Enterprise, run concerts or tournaments, and hit multiple curriculum goals in entrepreneurship, Life Orientation, business, arts and climate education.

📈

Proven, measurable outcomes

Before-and-after surveys plus simple dashboards show gains in engagement, confidence, teamwork, leadership, financial literacy and climate awareness.

🤖

Low prep, high support

Teacher-friendly guides, weekly checklists and an in-app AI mentor in Blastbeat V2 mean you facilitate rather than design everything from scratch.

🌍

Community + funding benefits

Students bring in sponsors, keep 75% of profits for school projects, and invest 25% into visible climate projects on campus or in the local community.

📅

Fits your timetable

Works as a term-length project in class time, an after-school club, or special programmes (Transition Year, Life Orientation, enrichment blocks). No timetable rewrite needed.

▶ watch · teacher view

A teacher walks you through it.

Three minutes. What a lead teacher actually does, what your students get out of it, and why it fits in a single term.

FootBeat · for sports clubs

For School And Community Sports Clubs.

Blastbeat also powers FootBeat, our format for football and other sports. Designed for young people aged 14–34 in school and community sports clubs.

Players form a real Event Social Enterprise around a tournament, showcase match, skills day or local festival. They take on roles like captain-CEO, finance, marketing, media and climate lead, plan the event, sell tickets and secure local sponsors. Teams keep 75% of profits to reinvest in kit, travel or development, and direct 25% into a climate project — greener pitches, boot recycling, tree planting, water-saving initiatives.

Young athletes build leadership, financial literacy, communication and media skills while strengthening club culture.

Bring life-skills and leadership training straight into your football or multi-sport programme.
