The Edison (Educational Diversity & Innovative Skills ON Entrepreneurship) Project is an initiative set up to encourage entrepreneurial skills in the classroom and around the school. The aim of our committee is to try to incorporate the following skills into the school day:     

-Creativity

-Teamwork

-Risk taking

-Convincing

-Adaptability

 

For a full week in February, we will be organising a week, to include all of these skills into lessons. On the last day, we are setting up an exhibition, to display all of the businesses already set up in our school in the hopes that it will encourage pupils in the school to start a business if they are interested.

 

We have three committees, each in charge of a different component of the Project.

 

-Event Organising Committee: Dovilé Mikalauskyté, Jade Lagrue & Chelsie Desmond

-Public Relations: Martha Moynihan, Niamh Leddy & Hannah Dalton

-Exhibition Committee: Eimear Sugrue & Niamh Leddy

 

Our Chairperson is Jade Lagrue & our Secretary is Dovile Mikalauskyté. They were elected by the others involved in the Edison Project team because of their strong leadership skills and willingness to work hard.
