Bad Dino Founder Inspires Pupils Through Innovative Education Initiative

Pupils across Scotland have been gaining real-world entrepreneurial skills thanks to a new education programme by the charity Gen+ which connects business leaders with the classroom - and Bad Dino is proud to have played a part!

Our founder, Kyle Whittington, was one of the entrepreneurs invited to take part in the project, which helps students to develop creative thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. The initiative, designed to bring fresh perspectives into the classroom, aims to inspire young people by showing how innovation and resilience are essential not only in business but in life.

Reflecting on his experience, Kyle said:
“It was really rewarding to be part of this awesome project. The energy, creativity, and fresh approaches to helping the next generation develop key life skills is ahead of the curve. I hope it sparks new ideas and that everyone enjoys what Bad Dino brought to the table!”

Through interactive workshops and mentoring sessions, the programme encourages students to tackle genuine business problems, develop solutions, and present their ideas - gaining valuable experience in communication, leadership, and creative thinking along the way.

At Bad Dino, we believe strongly in supporting the next generation of innovators. Taking part in this initiative has been an exciting opportunity to give something back to the community and to help equip young people with the skills they'll need for the future.
