BOI Academy
I was one of five people who were picked to go up to NUIG for three days, I stayed in Galway for the few days with my Aunt. The first day there we were put into groups of 4/5 of students from other schools, we had to come up with an idea to help with one of the 17 EU goals, we picked to work on goal 13. Our idea was to make a recyclable and reusable tanning mitt with an extendable arm on it. The first day was mainly just ice breakers and some team building exercises, after that we had to brainstorm an idea.
The second day we worked out the mechanics of the project, and what materials it would be made of, we also come up with mock photos of it.
we also designed a logo for our company our company name of Eco and the product as eco back. we made a website to shoe it off, and we also had a survey written up and me and Naimh went off and asked the students in the collage, we gathered the data from this to work out how much we should charge and the most effective ways of getting word out to the public about us.
The final day we spent it going over what we had made and then getting ready to present it in front of the judges, we had decided on what we were going to say and in what order we should talk about it. We didn't win but it was fun and got to meet some new people while I was there.
