YES Project

The YES project has started in Year 6 again! The YES project is an entrepreneurial scheme which gets students to form a company and to make a product which can be sold. It focuses on students working together as a group, conducting market research, making a business plan, pitching for a budget, working out potential sales profit, sourcing materials and making and selling the product. Students have already been allocated teams to work in and made prototypes of potential products. The stage most recently completed has been the market research with the Year 4 and 5 students, who will be the main customers. This helps the groups decide on what products they will make for the YES fair, how to price them and what colours / designs would be most popular. The next step was to develop a business plan and pitch for a budget from Mr. Turner – hopefully every group was successful! The next step is ordering the materials and waiting for them to arrive ready for production to begin! The sale will be later on in December.
