We were very fortunate to recently have been invited to Cloghans Hill N.S. to join them in partaking in BizWorld Ireland. This is a programme put on by Bank of Ireland for primary schools. The programme aims to give pupils an insight into the steps involved in becoming a director of a company team and understanding the world of business. The children were required to work hard on their communication, negotiation and entrepreneurial skills while learning their strengths and ambitions. One of our teams came up with the idea of ‘Eye scanned it’ – a device that would enable blind people identify objects in their environment. Another team invented the idea of a lunch box that would keep a lunch warm or cold depending on the preference. All pupils were required to present their ideas at the dragon’s den.
