Junior Entrepreneurs

We have been busy for the past ten weeks, participating in the Junior Entrepreneur Project. This is a national programme which gets primary school children involved in setting up their own business. We started off with 5 ideas which had to be presented to a Dragons' Den. The idea which was chosen for our business was "Handy Holders"- pencil holders made from recycled materials. We were divided up into 5 teams- the finance team, the marketing team, the sales team, the design and production team and the story-telling team. We had our "Showcase day" on Friday the 21st March and many of our parents came in to watch the presentation which was given by the story-telling team. We sold over 300 holders and made a profit of over €900. We're delighted, as we are going to use the money to go camping.
