It’s been a while since our last post – we’ve been very busy the past two weeks, delivering enterprise sessions in schools and college across the region. It seems fitting therefore that our latest post should reflect on how truly enterprising Year 9s and 10s can be, especially when it comes to designing a product that is close to their heart.
We set the students the task of coming up with a new piece of technology; a snazzy mobile phone for 2020 society. The ideas were fantastic, ranging from laser eye equipment – the cunningly named ‘eye’ phone - to phones that connect to the car and home. All of the students were unfazed when we asked them to present their product, and several really relished the opportunity to be in the spotlight.
After chatting with some of the pupils it became apparent that several were heading towards Further and Higher Education, and others towards the world of work. No doubt all of them will have taken something from the workshop, whether increased awareness of the business potential within, or more confidence in social situations. A job well done we feel.
