This week, three of our students - Emilie, Rebecca & Zoe - have been featured in several local media outlets - one of which being, 'Barbados Today,' for their successes in extra-curricular activities! We're so proud of their successes that we wanted to share them with you, too!
..... And the prize for Research and Product Development goes to Rebecca Eames and Zoe King!
"Hosted by the Barbados Entrepreneurs Foundation (BEF), The Student Market Place was the culmination of weeks of hard work and sacrifice by students from various secondary schools, who all participated in the BEF $20 challenge.
Students were given $20, with which they had to start up and successfully run a business – keeping clear records of their finances and other business decisions. In addition each school was assigned an advisor; an individual with entrepreneurship experience that would provide mentorship throughout the programme. The students were judged based on their level of creativity, how they were able to work in teams as well as the impact their business would have on the environment."
There was no doubting the level of creativity on display, as products ranged from sweet treats to hand-made fans. Rebecca Eames and Zoe King of Lockerbie College were among those pushing the barriers of creativity with their natural skin care products.
Both young ladies told Loop News of their love for health and beauty products and it was for this reason that they decided to make and sell coffee scrubs and rose bath salts. When asked how they rated the experience, both believed that the challenge was an interesting one but not without its ups and downs. “We both do Principles of Business but this challenge allows us to see the practical side and gain experience in operating a business we are both passionate about,” they noted." - LOOP News, Barbados
