Students in the STEAM Lab are currently working on a product business project. The class has been divided into creative, production, and business teams to figure out how best to bring a concept through production and into a lucrative business. Using the vinyl cutter and steam press that STEAM Director Chris Hardman acquired with his 2013 Faculty Innovation Grant, the students will be designing, creating, and marketing custom decals for sweatshirts and t-shirts as well as custom stickers for personalizing iPad cases, binders, books, and anything else on which a sticker can be placed! One of the first challenges is to figure out how customers will submit orders and payment. They hope to open this up to the Brimmer and May community.
