We researched on raffles and silent auctions and brainstormed some ways to get the word out to the public. You can help by sharing this with your family and friends! Thanks!
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.

Flip 'N' Check Day 13: Don't Stop Me Now
Believe it or not, the gift show is less than a week away! In just a few days, Ms. Chmiel will be flying off to Toronto, ready to promote Flip 'N' Check to the Canadian world. In the meantime, we had to make some final touches to ensure that her trip will be a success. We began sending out our new press release about World Wonders and the gift show to a line of Canadian and New York press outlets to spread the word.
Also in preparation for the show, we finished making the appropriate changes to our product demo video to be shown on a loop at Booth #5230. The video was originally made by Stuyvesant's video production class under the guidance of Ms. Elka Gould, but as you know, the name of the product has since been changed to Flip 'N' Check.
And here's some more exciting news! We're hosting an event on August 20th at the Frying Pan! All are invited to this fundraising and networking event. We are proud to announce that current candidate for Manhattan Borough President (and Stuyvesant alumnus) Jessica Lappin will be in attendance to kick off our elevator pitch open mic. We'll have a raffle and exciting prizes. Please come and join us for food, drinks, networking, and a good cause. We appreciate your support!

Flip 'N' Check Day 12: Rain, Rain, Go Away!
Happy first day of August! Today saw no time for the stormy weather to put a damper on our moods. With Canada practically a week away, we had to get to work on preparing for our international debut! World Wonders will be setting up a booth at the gift show, so it is only appropriate that we provide them with booth materials to promote our product. We made changes to our product demo video and press release to accommodate for the updated version of Flip 'N' Check. There was also discussion of a possible future fundraising event, and of course, game development and revision are always underway!
We had a pleasant mini reunion when Natasha stopped by the Frying Pan! Being a Toronto native, she advised Ms. Chmiel on her upcoming trip to the Toronto Gift Show. She also conducted a short interview on the importance of mentorship and our own experiences being mentored. Though we had a little trouble filming outdoors on the barge with the helicopters and rain overhead, we managed to find a quiet spot inside the caboose. There, we reflected on our summer and the many skills we've learned.
