On the 26th of November, Year 7 got to sell their innovations at the Christmas Market. I worked in a team of 4 with Joshua, Senuka, and Louis. We sold laser cut Christmas ornaments and magnets/keyrings.

I learnt many vital skills from this project, like:

• Sometimes your team may not always agree on things- but you can compromise.
• Teamwork.
• How to attract customer’s attention, and what words to use.
• How to use Adobe Illustrator.

Some challenges we had

• Our prototypes were too thin and snapped easily- we added some width and also some height in the end to fix this.
• Some of our ornaments still broke.

Overall this was a fun experience, but if I could do it again I would

• Make more supply- our products sold out around three quarters into lunch. We were originally going to double our supply but the laser cutter was in high demand so we couldn’t.
• Hike the prices- one of our magnet keychains sold out in the first half of lunch. We could have hiked the prices of it so it didn’t sell out so quickly and we still made profit.

I hope that an opportunity like this shows up in the future soon! This was a huge success, and we raised around 30 dollars for charity! As a year we raised a whopping two thousand dollars!
