      - a good (food, artwork, craft, food, soap, plants, etc) or
      - a service (wash, paint, advertise, organise, etc)
    • No cooking at school and No meat. No entering the Food Tech room.
    • Maximum of 3 group members
    • Business Plan MUST include Health & Safety procedures, especially with food (photo evidence they were followed is needed).

    In your small group, brainstorm 100 words relating to ideas for products. Do NOT discuss the words. In particular, do NOT ridicule anyone for strange, left-field ideas, as it's these ideas that can lead to original, innovative products that other teams have not thought of. 
    Here are some links to help you get started:

    Focus
    Group your brainstormed words into 2 or 3 general areas (eg brownies, cakes and muffins could be grouped under sweet baking).
    When you have 2 or 3 broad possible areas, do research online and think of skills and knowledge that you can access (team members or their family and friends) that might lend themselves to one of the ideas.
    Choose one product / area to focus on.
