Our New Bridge Enterprise have had another amazing year, developing a new product to add to their long list of products. This year has seen the birth of the Snugglioz! Snugglioz aim to be a calming and stress relieving teddy by scanning a QR code and revealing a heartfelt message. As ever, the students have been using the local markets to sell their products and presented at the annual Young Enterprise Dragon’s Den event.
The students have used the Karten funded printing equipment and camera equipment to produce high quality promotional flyers, banners and branding for their huge catalogue of products.
In addition to the banners, flyers, business cards printing, we have started to produce vinyl wall prints for schools across our Trust and we aim to start promoting this to schools across the region. These wall prints are so powerful and really enhance the environment of any room. Take a look at some of the students at work and some of the designs going up.
The video production enterprise is going from strength to strength, providing a huge catalogue of promotional films for our Mult Academy Trust, with a new library of Destination Champion films but also gaining commissions across the country.
The students recently received a paid commission to film the Evidence for Learning Conference in Leicester. This involved an overnight stay the night before and a full day of filming workshops, presentations and Interviews and editing them for EfL to promote across their social media platforms. Exmples of the videos created can be viewed on the New Bridge Group & MAT Promotional Channel YouTube.
Another Karten funded project that we have seen impact with is the use of the virtual forklift truck simulator. This exciting machine has really engaged some of our post-16 students to want to venture into work within warehouse logistics and potentially go on to become a forklift truck driver. Ok, so we haven’t any qualified fork lift truck drivers yet, but just to be able to get them interested in warehouse logistics and succeed in a work placement as a warehouse operative is a starting point. Here we can see how well Imran did and how this inspired him to gain confidence within a work placement at The Range.
You can find more information about the products on the NBEnterprise website and their social media channels too.
We can’t thank the Ian Karten Charitable Trust enough for all their support. We see the impact of each of the funded projects every day. The opportunities our young people have had because of the equipment they have available to them would not be possible without the ongoing support over the years. Thank you.
