IST 195 Week8---Final Summary for my very first entrepreneurship project


        I still remember the first day that our whole class was announced by Professor Rubin that there is a project of entrepreneurship coming. I was never a technology person, and before I took this class, I already concerned whether I can catch all those technologies during lectures and apply them in labs. At that time, I thought there would be no way that I could actually create a new brand which would relate to materials of each class. At the beginning, I have no idea since I have only a limited understanding of technology and business. But then, I got the idea about this doll-making website from one of my other classes-- childhood psychology. It seems like there are always some issues about communications between parents and their infants since newborns cannot speak for themselves and new parents are inexperienced. Also, the US needs extra help, such as technology support, to improve its health care system for kids during early childhood as proven by some psychology researches.  

 Just a quick summary about what are my blogs all about. My plan is to build a new website called, Build your own toys. The main goal of my product is not only let the kids pick their favorites or create their unique ones, but also keep them being healthy both mentally and physically by putting medical test devices into the body of some dolls. In those ways, parents can easily and briefly check the condition of the kid before they go to a doctor, and they don’t need to panic when the baby is crying loudly. By using techniques like excel, I can easily manage the statue of my inventory. Also, by using apps like digital videos and images, the company can publicize our produces widely and effectively. Since almost every product from Build your own toys are unique ones, I figured it will be easier to have my own doll factory. Therefore, the productivity of our doll factory can be increased by using RFID technology. There are also other techniques that help me to make the website or the factory to be more organized and attractive to our customers. However, they are just not being as much obvious as those that I detailed mentioned above. 

 In conclusion, I think I choose a really interesting topic. By blogging each week, I have a better understanding of the first one third of the course materials. Quite an experience! For this Build your own toys project, I thought I start it out too broad and it was more complex than I thought it could be since I was trying to put different processes in this one project. There are still a lot of details need to be done for build your own toys as a new brand. However, I definitely believe it will be something that people need all the time in real life, and if it does come true, it will fulfill the gap of infants’ medical supply in the United States.
