Survey Results

After concluding the survey, it is safe to say that a wood shop club would definitely be of interest in the school: 90% of people taking the survey showed interest while only 10% showed none; however, 50% replied "maybe", which may mean that the enrollment in wood shop would be time dependent and schedule oriented, even if some may want to join. 8 out of 10 people said they would be comfortable using power tools, and everyone who took the survey had an interest in building one of the example projects. It is safe to say that a wood shop class or club would be somewhat popular at school based on this survey.

Fad Article

The target market was kids who enjoyed pets and video games, so Millennials that were still growing up at the time. It was easy to use, and had only three buttons making it a simple but fun toy to play with. It faded away with the introduction of mobile smartphones and the rise of apps and mobile games as other means of entertainment.
