F2D-ITC @ Colmore Junior School

So, today we were interviewed by 2 amazing pupils at Colmore Junior school in Kings Heath, Birmingham. (See pics below)

The interview was for the children’s magazine, Home Cool kids.
We have to say….. they are definitely journalists in the making!! We were astounded by their professionalism and the quality of their interviewing skills. Their parents should be proud of them!
We went from talking about our upbringings, to what influences our designs, and to how we overcome setbacks within business. We were really blown away by how amazingly well they both handled the interview.

It was also great to meet the school head, Mr Bradshaw, Helen Pike & Home Cool Kids founder Binny. We have been invited back to the school for a Year 6 assembly next half term, which we cannot wait to attend!!
The girls also awarded us with our very own Key Principles award certificates which we were honoured to receive of course!
We had a brilliant morning at the school and it was the highlight of our day!!
We really can’t wait to get back there soon! Thank you Colmore Junior School!

Take care everyone -

Presenting our new book….

Entrepreneurship: A Young Persons Guide

We are very proud to announce the release of our new children’s non-fiction book, Entrepreneurship: A Young Persons Guide. We started the writing of this book last year October and finalised it, during lockdown. We wrote the book with a view to inspiring and encouraging young people to become the entrepreneurs of tomorrow….. or maybe even today!!! The book covers various aspects of business on a basic level, understandable to young people aged between 7 to 14. We feel it’s important to teach children that ownership of a business or becoming self-employed is a realistic goal to have, which we feel is not taught enough in mainstream education. In the current climate we live in, teaching children to become self efficient is now more important then ever!

That’s where our book comes in!

The book also features a QR code on each page, that when scanned via a phone or tablet, leads the reader to a video covering each chapter of the book, using animation and narration by a member of the team. Check the video below.
Our book is available to buy on our website for £12.99 and will also be featured in schools across Birmingham and the UK. If you would to like to purchase our book, head over to our menu and hit the ‘Buy Our Book’ link. And if you would like more info, please feel free to contact me on the email below.

What is an ENTREPRENEUR?

Monty and Percy! The Story So Far…

So we are halfway through our 1st projects at AET academies Percy Shurmer and Montgomery. The 9 pupils at Monty and 10 pupils at Percy have really taken to the course. It’s been an absolute joy for us getting to know them while working with them on their designs, all whilst teaching them the key aspects of business, including marketing, sales and profit, design, manufacturing and branding.
We’ve really enjoyed watching their confidence grow. And we’ve been particularly pleased with how much they have grown in their knowledge of business and entrepreneurship over the 1st 4 weeks!!
Below are some highlights of the 4 sessions at both schools so far!!

F2D ITC @ Lionheart School Of Excellence Summer Club
