Headteacher Graham Hutton says, “This is part of a project for Young Enterprise Scotland and after passing the first stage they are hopeful to go all the way through the regional stages and fingers crossed up to the national stage of the competition.”
The ‘Dae Ye Ken CD Standard Grade CD Question Pack’is used in conjunction with the ‘Dae Ye Ken’ board game and is an ideal way to study for exams, combining fun with learning. The students made up all the questions themselves after being through the Standard Grade exams already and think most students would agree it is a more exciting way to study.
A number of the students would now like to study business at college or university, as creating the game has given them a useful insight into how to manage a business.
Dumbarton Academy entrepreneurs are selling the board game, a cd-rom, mugs and jam jars. The board game and dvd can also be bought online at www.daeyeken.com.
Teachers Alan Rodgers and Carol Cook proudly state, “Now we have sold just about 50 board Games, The students have just broken even with their venture. We hope sales are set to continue on an upward trend. The Game is fun and educational. We are confident that it will continue to sell and has a super chance at succeeding all the way through the competition. The Game is very clever and has extremely high production values.”
