My Project

This project is to enhance the students' overall experience of operating a school-based enterprise and provide students with valuable learning opportunities in sales, marketing, promotion, entrepreneurship, and customer service. A school-based enterprise provides students with hands-on experience in running a business, fostering skills in teamwork, problem-solving, communication, financial/inventory management, and operations/logistics.

A engaging school-based enterprise can play a vital role in promoting school spirit, fostering creativity, and developing entrepreneurial skills among our students.

By offering a wide range of merchandise, we can encourage students to actively participate in their educational environment and increase their appreciation and love for school.

Students will showcase their creativity by designing innovative products that cater to the needs of our target market. Students will design logos, create merchandise, and create marketing materials. Students will create advertising campaigns, social media content, and other promotional materials that grab their peer's attention. Students will utilize their creative skills to create visually appealing displays, store layout, and table decorations. Students will design and showcase eye-catching packaging that can help attract repeat customers. Our school-based enterprise will promote product launches, sales promotions, and fundraisers.

My students need merchandise to create and sell such as t-shirts, writing pens, keychains, pom poms, and other school spirit items. Our store allows students to apply academic concepts and knowledge in areas such as business management, marketing, finance, and customer service. Students will develop skills in teamwork, leadership, communication, critical thinking, decision-making, creativity, and adaptability. Students learn about budgeting, pricing, revenue generation, profit analysis, and financial decision-making. School-based enterprises can generate funds for the school and be used to fund extracurricular activities, scholarships, competitions, trips, and educational resources.
