$20 Boss was an opportunity for year 8 students to become young entrepreneurs.

The events that led up to the selling day were planning, making & marketing. My partner & I first started with planning our design. We chose to make bags with pockets, pouches and cable holders. We split the planning workload in order to make it more efficient. I did the step-by-step planner and my partner worked on our name and logo. We went through many different options for our name, but the final one was given to us as a joke from my partner’s dad.

The research done was through surveys with the cohort to find out how to better our idea and to see who would purchase it. I have empathised with my audience by making a bag that is practical and comfortable to have.

My partnership worked really well, with me handling the paperwork and statistical side, and my partner doing the creative and making aspect.

Overall, This was an amazing learning experience for me.
