This week companies planned what kind of clients are their customers. Some of the companies were planning to stay in Finland but most of them were going to go on international market. Help Desk services is key to help customers in trouble. Some of the companies want to do their business green and help the environment.

Subcontractors started their work

As a part of the Patamäki Corporation 1^st graders have started their own companies. They will do business as subcontractors for the 3^rd and 4^th graders companies and produce tie-in products based on the games that older students have designed with the Kodu gaming program.

1^st grade students started today by making a business plan for their companies and choosing roles for each “stake holder”. Roles were CEO, marketing manager, finance manager and production manager. Part of the role choosing process was naming every student’s strengths. Finally at the end of today’s lessons the 3^rd and 4^th grade students presented their offer requests from the game companies to the subcontractors. Introducing was very exciting but the experience was positive. Companies will make their decisions next week and design work starts.
