Problem

Your job is to find a product to make, one that is not too hard and people will like. You will need to select one idea to share with the other KIDSCO factory workers (your class) and the owner (your teacher). Tell them why this product will be the best to make!

Process

First you will need to look at some of these websites. Use the helping sheet to learn about 3 different kinds of products.  

After looking at the website, you will need to pick one to manufacture in your factory.

To present the item idea to the company, you will need to create a brochure, a power point, or a poster.  You will need to include the following information:

1.  The name of the product.

2.  What the product is used for.

3.  Who would buy the product.

4.  What items are needed to make the product.

5.  General steps in how the item is made.  You can either describe in words or pictures.

6. Why you really liked the product.

 

Make sure that you check you spelling.  You need to make your presentation neat so we can read it easily.
