Young Innovators Bazaar 2017
The Young Innovators Bazaar 2017 held at Plaza Hollywood for the 5th consecutive year. This year, we brought in university coaching teams to support secondary school students to enrich students’ learning experience. Students were encouraged to unleash their innovation, creativity and passion to prepare for their business. During the 4 months of preparation, students formed their own team, developed their business plan, conducted market research, prepared their budget plan before they could finally run their business in the bazaar. This “out-of-classroom” experience allowed students to apply what they had learned from textbooks and understand how business is run in the real market. A record breaking of over 1,000 students from 46 schools joined the bazaar this year with the support of 42 partners.
The Bazaar 2017 encouraged students to integrate creativity and passion into their business plans and product design. With over 200 types of products, students adopted different strategies to attract customers. Ng Yuk Secondary School, our Project WeCan partner school, sold various types of healthy rice to promote healthy eating culture.
Mr. Ricky Wong, Managing Director of Wheelock Properties, sponsored approximately 80 students and teachers of Hong Chi Association and Fresh Fish Trader’s Primary School to visit the bazaar. Wheelock’s volunteers played games and went shopping around the bazaar with the students for their favorite products.
