Oakbank School is challenging children to design a chocolate box good enough to sell to the French.
As part of Global Entrepreneurship Week, 60 year nine and ten pupils at the Keighley school will be tackling the task on Wednesday.
Each teenager will take a role in their makeshift company, such as managing director or finance manager, create a company name, work out a marketing plan and design and make the box.
They will have to calculate their export costs and use their French language skills to achieve their goal.
Pupils will also have to make a 60-second TV commercial.
The Enterprise Day takes place in the same week that former children’s television presenter Johnny Ball — father of former Radio 1 presenter Zoe Ball — visits Education Bradford’s main support office at Future House. He will hold an activity session for 350 pupils across the Bradford district to encourage them to aim high.
Catherine Halliwell, creativity and enterprise advisor at Education Bradford, said: “It is great that the pupils learn about maths and science in an enterprising way and think about how these subjects can be applied in the workplace.”
