After doing morning work we received a visit from the owners of This Chick Bakes, Jen Houston and Charley Tucker, and were rewarded with moist and delicious cupcakes. The flavors were carrot cake, chocolate, vanilla, and red velvet. Soon after work we took the M23, 5 & 6 trains to Wall Street and went into the Regus office building, with a stop to McDonald's first, of course. There we talked to Julia Gaynor who explained to us the meaning, purpose, and importance of Public Relations. We also learned that when writing a press release we should make it personal to the reporter or business person and to create a mind grabbing first sentence/paragraph. The day ended when we all went on a confusing, yet thrilling subway ride to get home.
Toys by Teens, LLC was formed by the not-for-profit group Teen Entrepreneur Boot Camp to create a real-working business model to teach students about entrepreneurship. Dr. Howard Wexler, inventor of the game Connect Four, donated a new invention to the project for the students to launch into the marketplace. The eventual revenue earned from sales will be used to offer this free program to new teams of students.
