Entrepreneurship Activating Innovative Learners An Erasmus+ project to promote the use of technology in the curriculum Norway
Challenges The work related training class started last year a cooperation with a local carpenter business. They build a shelter at school. But they didn`t earn any money. Because of that this was not Entrepreneurship.
Challenges - part tw0 We wanted to create an app, but they were not motivated for it. Then we tried to do it with the 6th and 2nd grade. The teacher in charge went long term sick leave and it became difficult.
– What should we do? We started a pupil business for students in 8th and 10th grade in a subject called work related training. 15 pupils were attending. (Group 1)
Motivation *The student were not very motivated for entrepreneurship. The pupils are not fond of theory. *Started with what they could do with the money. * Looked after activities . * They wanted to visit a local paintball club. * They where more motivated after a while, and enjoyed the work
Idea Easy money Low cost Engaging activity
Planning – Group 1 • They looked for recipes on internet. • Design. • Calculate costs, balance and income. Profit • Calculate ingredients. How much on one glass. Were they could get the cheapest ingredients. • How many glasses they hade to sell to get enough money for the paintball • Shopping list • shopping
eE They used Excel To the budgeting
Who shall we speak to? Group 1 wanted to sell the biscuit to family and friends. The idea is to sell a exclusive product. People are busy, but they want to have homemade food. This product can also be a decoration in the house. They use a website for advertising. They wanted to sell online, but it was to expensive. They made a sheet for preorder.
Marketing - Group 1 They made the cookies and did a short marketing analysis. How much would people pay for the biscuit ? Did they like the taste ? Do they want to buy the product? Webside were you can see the product http://m.arbeidslivsfag-2018-19.webnode.com/ QR code with personal advertising

Label – Group 1 They made different sketches to a label. They agreed on one label and made it in a digital program called paint.
Entrepreneur Activity 1 – What should we do? We started a pupil business for students in 8th and 10th grade in a subject called work related training. 15 pupils were attending. (Group 1) 9th grade tried out one idea to sell food to the students at school. This was in the subject home economics. They used elements from Entrepreneurship. 36 pupils were attending. (Group 2) After a brain storm where they discussed several ideas, both groups landed on one idea each. Group 1 wanted to try out the idea to sell cookie recipes with all the ingredients in a glass . Group 2 wanted to sell homemade food.
In forehand there was a lot of work done before the decision were made. Questions were: What are we good at? How could we use our skills? What events are coming up in school? What product/service could meet a need in school or the community? Who could help us? Prioritize ideas for a class product or service. Groups explain their choices with reasons to the class. Opportunity for peer evaluation. Finally the groups voted to make a collective decision on the best enterprise idea
Entrepreneur Activity 2 – Who shall we speak to? In groups, using local directories, websites, newspapers, map of local area etc. pupils research local enterprises relevant to their project idea within their locality. Group 1 wanted to sell the biscuit recipes to family and friends and use a website for advertising. They wanted to sell online, but it was to expensive. They made a sheet for preorder. Group 2 wanted to sell homemade food at school to pupils.
Entrepreneur Activity 3 – Where shall we go? In groups, using local directories, websites, newspapers, map of local area etc. pupils research local enterprises relevant to their project area within their locality. Groups present their findings to the class and a class decision is made. Group 1 will make orders in forehand. This is a brand new idea. Group 2 wanted to work hard with marketing. Prepare the pupils for sale. They made their own
Marketing Group 2 Yellow is the color for cheap Orange is the color for hunger They used a workbook from the government Rød er stoppfargen som signaliserer fare, men den er også kjærlighetens farge. Rødt er den mest brukte fargen i nasjonalflagg. BLå er beroligende, kjølig, seriøs og konservativ. HViT signaliserer uskyld, fred og renhet. gUL står for sjalusi og falskhet, men gir også inntrykk av at noe er billig. gRønn representerer harmoni og er livets og håpets farge. SoRT symboliserer sorg, tristhet og til dels ondskap. FioLeTT representerer noe mystisk, men er også avslappende. den er dessuten knyttet til forventning og det som er kongelig. oRanSje har noe festlig og muntert over seg, og kan være med på å gjøre oss sultne.
Entrepreneur Activity 4 – What did we find out? Both groups needed money to start out and they got a loan from school.
Entrepreneur Activity 5 – Can we plan? All businesses need a plan that outlines how the enterprise will be set up and run. Both groups made a business plan how to organize their enterprise project. What is their enterprise idea? Who will be working on your enterprise? Who will be your customers? Who are your competitors? How much money will you need? Where will you get the money? How will you keep track of the money? How much profit do you think you will make? What will you do with any profit? What help will you need? How long will your enterprise last?
Entrepreneur Activity 6 – Who is best at? Both groups had to solve these tasks Market research Finance Production Resources Advertising Selling And they had to find out What do you need to be good at to do that job? Who is best at? Who will volunteer to do that job?
Entrepreneur Activity 7 – What shall we call ourselves? Group1 come up with the name“ Ta kjeks” witch means Take Biscuits. Group 2 where divided in to several groups and did have own names.

Entrepreneurship Activity 10 – How do we make it? Bothgroupsconsider the following questions: What do you need to make your product? e.g. equipment, materials, workplace. How safe, reliable and sustainable is your product? How many do you think you will need/sell? How long do you think it will it take to make all the products you think you can sell? Are you going to take orders for your product, or make a set amount or a combination of both?
Entrepreneur Activity 11 – Can we sell it? Using ICT the pupils had to devise a simple accounting system to record income, costs and profit. They will need to know: • How much money you have for your enterprise project? • How much money you have spent (costs). • How much money you have coming in (income). • How much money you have in the ‘bank’ (balance).
Entrepreneur Activity 12 – We can do it! The pupils make the product and begin trading. Pupils plan the practical arrangements for their enterprise project and agree and assign tasks. Pupils begin trading, selling their product or providing their service. Pupils keep a tally of sales/ money received. Pupils make a photographic record of their enterprise project.
Entrepreneur Activity 13 – How did we do? Both groups went out well and did earn some money. They learned a lot about entrepreneurship and we will do this again.
