In an ever-evolving world, nurturing creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurial skills among young minds is paramount. Recognizing the importance of practical learning experiences, St. Joseph's Grammar School recently joined forces with Cafe Culture in Donaghamore for an exciting workshop designed and facilitated by Dungannon Enterprise Centre that challenged students to ideate, design, and pitch a new flavor of frappe. This unique collaboration provided students with a hands-on opportunity to unleash their creativity, learn about the intricacies of product development, and experience the thrill of entrepreneurship.

The workshop provided a glimpse into the intricate process of creating a product that not only satisfies customers' palates but also aligns with business objectives and market demands.

After the creative process of developing the frappe flavors, it was time for the students to channel their inner entrepreneurs and pitch their creations to a panel of judges. This stage of the workshop provided an opportunity for the students to refine their presentation skills, articulate their unique selling points, and defend their flavor choices.

Each student team brought their vision to life, presenting their frappe flavors with enthusiasm and conviction.
