Say hi to my Capstone Team, Spider or AKA MMA Capstone Team. My team members are 4th year Alyson Howey from management, and 4th year Kina Lin from accounting. We have been working tirelessly for two entire semesters with Junior Achievement (JA), Enactus Pivot, and DMIT to research non-profit (NGO) industries and how they succeed, areas of financial revenue, created marketing material for them, and developed an internal database involving students, staff, and volunteers.
JA is an organization that gives jr high and high school students the opportunity to create their own businesses from scratch with a team, sell a product, earn potential revenue, as well as close the business. They offer both a competitive and non-competitive stream that students can participate in. It has definitely been a bumpy road. It took us initially 3 weeks before our project was fully defined because we were the first team to take on this project. JA was also going through a lot of internal organizational changes which made it difficult to contact them, there were also a lot of problems and narrowing the scope of the project proved challenging. However, our team persevered. We were able to set up ambassadors, submit a DMIT team proposal, and ultimately provide the support they needed to successfully run the program this year. My responsibility was being the leader of the capstone team, taking charge of meetings and delegating work. I also was the Enactus Ambassador, having worked with the organization before with NextStep. I also got the opportunity to compete with them this year as a Regional Presenter for the Enactus Pivot team. More information can be seen in my previous blog. I have learned a lot from my experience. Alyson and Kina were also a joy to work with. Both are very diligent and skilled in their respective fields. Our semester has come to an end with the completion of our final report (60+ pages) and final presentation, though it was not as we expected. I will never forget the relationships and connections formed through this class. All the best in your future endeavors.
