Genius Project
Slowly but surely, I am getting closer and closer to finishing my project. Since my last post, I have had another meeting with Mr. Morales regarding my project. He said that he will soon have more information about funding on next Tuesday. To be honest, I did not know how to take this, could it be good news or bad news? Anyways, the next step for me is reaching out to the company, Elkay to see about what exact model would fit for our school, and hopefully see if we can get a discounted price. As far as I know, I think I will be able to get a special price because of the amount we are ordering. Another thing that Mr. Morales brought up was trying to see if any other schools in the area have used the product, and if so I would like to know their experience. What problems did they have? If they could do it again, what would they change? As of now I feel like I got the hardest part of the project accomplished: making it clear that this addition is necessary for Sage Creek. If everything goes according to plan, I hope to meet with Mr. Morales again after contacting Elkay, and after he has more information regarding possible additional funds. One last thing that I feel like I would need to do in order to "complete" (By "complete" I mean me being happy with the progression of my project) my project is officially present my idea to a larger group. I envision doing this to either district officials or a fundraising group. I feel like this is the last skill I would need to successfully model a typical business environment. Overall, I feel pretty good knowing that I learned many business skills from the Genius Project. Of course you could look at it as someone just putting something in their school, but really, I saw a problem, thought of a solution, presented my solution to someone who could help, and sold them on my solution. Aside from those extremely useful business skills, I also got to see all of the logistics and thought that goes into even a small project.
