Before
Easter Niamh Corry, a transition year student, won the overall
“Fingal Mini Company” prize. Niamh told us about her project and
the experience.
How
did you come up with the idea for the business?
I
have a massive binder at home full of notes from the Junior Cert and
every time I had a test I had to drag this binder out which I hated
doing so when I found out I would be doing Mini Company I immediately
thought of that binder and how I could make easier for students.
What
was your business about?
My
company which is called 'Skim it Quick' is an educational playing and
revision card company.
I
custom designed these cards in a range of subjects and topics. The
topics and subjects were compressed into shorter versions of the
curriculum.
Who
was your target audience?
I
aimed the cards originally for Junior Cert students but I realised on
'Market Day', the business fair in school, that a lot of Leaving Cert
students were also interested so I extended my market.
What
were the prizes that you won?
I
won a large trophy and a trip to Barcelona which I'm very excited
about!
On
behalf of the school, TY Blog would like to congratulate Niamh on her
fantastic win.
