BAM DAY!

Teachers are always trying to prepare their students for college or university, and rarely bring in real world applications as the still have post-secondary school to teach them what they need to learn. On Monday June 4th and Wednesday June 6th that all changed. KDSS helped their first ever BAM day.


Thought up by KDSS business teacher Roselyn Hurst, BAM day takes the talent and skills of the Business students, Art students as well as the the Media students.

The finished products!!!

Hurst had her grade 12 business class create a company and a product. The business students sat down with their computer art partners who then created a logo, magazine ad and the packaging for the product for their "clients".

The business students also worked along side the media students who produced a 45 second commercial for the product.

On Wednesday June 6th the business students presented their product, commercial, and print ad to the rest of the business, art and media students as well to a panel of judges during the BAM Den, taken from the popular television show Dragon's Den.

This was an amazing way for all the students to get a real world understanding of what they might experience if the pursue a career in business, art or media.
