It's amazing how creative  kids can be. GreyMatter is proud to contribute to the Dynamo project which is leading the way in enterprise education delivering an entrepreneurship message to pupils in primary schools and students in university.
 
Enterprise education depends on business, and business owners to show the next generation the skills needed to succeed.  Business needs enterprising young people to become dynamic employees equipped with the right skills for the working world.
 
As part of our presentation to schools we ask the students to invent something. Just to get their minds focused we divide the class into four teams. Each team becomes a company:
 
  • Earth Ltd
  • Wind and Sons
  • Fire Plc
  • Water Ltd

 

Each company has a logo and corporate brand (we give them a real object to focus on):
 
  • Earth Ltd                 -  Caterpillar
  • Wind and Sons         -  Duck
  • Fire Plc                    -  Dragon
  • Water Ltd                -  Shark

 

The team inventions are based on "brainstorming" their animal logo.

Take a look at these great ideas, if you're feeling creative we can run a workshop for you, or help you get your products onto the market quicker. Click here to find out more
