The Rock!

This week in the wonderful world known as Economics class, we split up into groups and created our very own motorized scooter!  My lovely partners and I came up with a very interesting scooter that will certainly make an impression on people.  We call it the Rock!  It has a rocket engine, parachute (just in case you go off a cliff or something), a snow plow so you do not have to just sit at home wishing someone would come and plow your street because now you can do it!  It can also carry your oxygen tank and even has a cup holder!  Who wouldn't want this?  I mean yes it is about $30,000 but it would be such a great investment!  You would not regret it!  I would highly recommend this product but for people over the age of 16, for safety reasons.  Kids should not use it!  Doing this project we learned about setting up all the different prices and profits that would work best for everyone.  We decided that it would cost about $20,000 to make and we could make a $10,000 profit if we charge it for $30,000.  Also, we learned how when creating a brand new product, all of the workers must agree on the various ideas and changes in order to create something that everyone would agree on and would sell well.  I really enjoyed this project and a big thank you to my wonderful partners!  These projects really teach us the lesson that we are learning in Economics that week and help everyone to understand the lesson in such an easy and fun way and also teaches the values of teamwork!  I think more classes should do projects such as these ones we are doing!
