Marketing Students at FHS Create Products

This year's high school marketing students were asked to create and market an original product. Throughout this semester-long project, students developed employability and soft skills including project management, research and analysis, creativity, critical thinking, and communication skills.

Below is one student’s thoughts on her project:

“I was inspired to create my PBM (Performance Based-based Measurement) when going through my normal day to day life. As a cashier at Walmart, I realized there are many communication barriers between my fellow cashiers and our customers, which may make them feel less welcome than our English-speaking customers. My PBM product was an earpiece that used a real human voice to translate both what the wearer hears and says to make translated communication seamless and less robotic.”  - Maddalynn Page, FHS Marketing Student


Other products pictured below include Isabella Vargas with her “Pillow Scent”, Hannah Shore with her “Sewshore Table” and Krista Brittain with “The Healing Tree”.
