Enterprise Talk
On Wednesday the 20th of September, Serena from the County Enterprise Board came to the school to talk to us about our mini company and the competition. Serena spoke about what past winners of the Nationals Finals did. One of the past winners made earphone helpers, he sold them in shops and on websites. In the National Finals he won 2000 euro and a weekend trip away to any European city with his teacher. One of the exercises we did was, Serena put us in groups of 4-5 people, we were given paperclips and each group had to come up with different ideas you could use paperclip for. My group came up with very good ideas for the use of a paperclip, such as using it as a hook or a phone stand. At the end of the talk I learned a lot of useful information that I will be using towards my mini company.
