I am thrilled to announce that Term 3 is shaping up to be one of the busiest terms so far for the Learning Hub. We are close to full capacity for the entire term, and we have some really exciting activities and special visits lined up, I'll keep you posted!
Over the next three weeks I will be working with Dianne, Caitlin and Hannah's syndicate (Team Tapatoru) delving into the mechanics, moving parts and finer points of toys. In small teams the children have been tasked with designing a toy for kindergarten children, and working collaboratively to complete a business plan in order to get their product to market. I have seen some AMAZING toy designs already, and it is incredibly exciting to see how enterprising and innovative our children are.
Over the following weeks we will complete our toy designs, work out how much $ it will cost to manufacture our toy, discuss profit margins, identify start up costs and take a close look at how we will finance our business growth by creating a budget. We will also develop a marketing plan, design business cards, and craft a marketing pitch for our target audience using iPads. We have a lot to do!
I look forward to sharing some exciting toy designs with you soon!
