About the event
We Make
Meggie is the founder of We Make and has spend the last 24 years working in education including primary school teaching and operating a Martial Arts school. Meggie has a passion for designing curriculum and helping to make complex problems manageable for her students. We Make specialises in combining sustainable projects with community building. Maker Marketeers is where Sustainability meets Entrepreneurship. Over the 4 week course, students will transform landfill-bound materials into unique, sellable products while learning design thinking, product development, and marketing. Each week focuses on different aspects of creating and selling their products, culminating in a market day where kids showcase and "sell" their creations.
Week 2- 17th August : What Makes a Product Sellable? Students will begin thinking about what makes a good product, conduct market research, hold a focus group and build prototypes. They will also conduct a pricing analysis and get a crash course in profitability.
