Pandora's Box
 Pupils develop their ideas generation skills through activities designed to expose and develop the inherent creativity of all. It's an open and close kind of day and pupils focus on target audience and linking products to people. Hence the differing success of the ipod and the chocolate fireguard!
Â
Pandora’s Box is a great way to kick start or celebrate an enterprise project - we get young people interested in thinking for themselves and not just coming up with great ideas but applying them.
Contents
Introduction to the day and Ice Breakers
Â
Session 1 – Introduction to Enterprise – what is meant by enterprise and why it is important. What is a 'persona'? Â
Session 2 – Team Skills – activities designed to develop team working, creativity, confidence, enthusiasm and commitment.
Â
Session 3 – Ideas Generation – pupils are taught the importance of new ideas and encouraged to come up with their own. Each group is challenged to design and market a new product and form a basic business plan.
