WEEK 10+

Aqua-Therm

On Tuesday and Wednesday our students made phenomenal progress on their class business with the help of Kim and Dave at Aqua-Therm.  The pair discussed project management, goal setting, and responsibility.

Heritage Bank - Ross Magnuson
Thursday KCEO welcomed 
Ross  M agnuson   of Heritage Bank.  Ross discussed various topics related to banking including the Fed, mobile technology and security.  Thank you Ross! 
Jennie-O - Social Media Brainstorm

On Friday the 20th KCEO was invited to participate in a social media brainstorming session at Jennie-O Turkey Store.  Students learned about how the company develops its brand and reaches customers via social media.  Topics discussed include YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest, FaceBook, SnapChat, and Instagram.  Our students obviously learned a great deal from the talented folks at Jennie-O, but it was a two way street.  Marketing personnel had the chance to pick the mysterious brains of today's teenagers.  It was a fantastic day.

Nova-Tech - James Sieben

On Monday the 23rd KCEO toured Nova-Tech  on the MinnWest Technology Campus.  Jim Sieben, Nova-Tech's President, explained the company's 
unique business model and current state of the industry.  As always, the Nova-Tech tour was amazing and afterward the class sat down with Jim to discuss the importance of entrepreneurship, community support of business, and public perception.  Thank you Jim and the folks at Nova-Tech.

Jennie-O - Product Ideation

On Tuesday the 24th our students participated in a product ideation session at Jennie-O.  This fantastic opportunity started with information on branding, store placement, and customer outreach.  Then the students broke into three rotating groups to help evaluate brand new products, discuss their opinions of school lunches :(, and explore personal snacking habits.  This was an inspiring and insightful morning.  A big 'Thank You' to everyone at JOTS that made Tuesday possible.
