During Term 4 we were challenged to make a product with only $30 and sell those products in the Christmas Market on Friday of week 6. We were also challenged to try and make a profit, we were then told that profit goes to the Salvation Army.
I was placed into a group with Barry Jelinek and Nithin Shivakumar. Together we went through many different processes of ideation. Our first idea was Christmas cards and door handles. We eventually decided to pitch our old idea but we didn’t get accepted and we didn’t get our investment of $30. Then we thought of our eventual idea our emoji keychains. We then got our idea approved and got our $30.
When we eventually bought all of our items that we needed to make our product we started the production process. Some of us cut out face the facial features and the others cut out the yellow emoji base. Then we stitched the faces together and then hot glued the facial features on. We even made a big one with our scraps! This was our stall just before the market:
We had to use the All Saints’ Values to help us in this project. We used problem solving, Resilience and Organisation.
We used Problem solving by Solving the challenges that arose during this whole project. Some of the problems that came up were: ideating after our first rejection for our investment and also making the emojis. This also comes into Resilience. We had to be resilient to push through the challenges that happened. We also had to be organised to get all of our products ready for the market and ready for different deadlines.
Overall the market was a fun experience and it was a cool thing to do. we didn’t sell all of our products but that is ok a we still made a profit I am very impressed with how my group and I did and it will always be a memory with me.
This was our stall and our group together:
