Assignment 8A – Solving the Problem

Assignment 8A – Solving the Problem My product has to do with bringing detailed education into schools allover America. Its not fair to young students to have a lack of education on something very powerful that is wihin our human nature. Creating a fun and simple way for the students of today to prepare and absorb information about sex. The curriculum will include the power of exchange of energy in sex, STDS/HIV prevention, testing and respect. Volunteer youth around the areas within the schools with be giving this information. They will have bright, colorful power points which will be extremely interactive. Handouts and games that are catchy and informative at the same time. The purpose is to educate and normalize sex and pros and cons that come along with it. The volunteers are younger so they can easily connect and relate to the students. This will be taught at schools allover the country, especially where rates are extremely high. This will create a chain reaction of ed...

7A – Testing the Hypothesis, Part 1

7A – Testing the Hypothesis, Part 1 STD/HIV Prevention & Education Opportunity: The rise of STD/HIV is at an all time high due to lack of prevention, precaution and education. The Who: Anyone who is sexually active  The What: Increase of the spread of infection  The Why: The proper prevention, precaution and education is not being pushed onto the citizen of society especially the age range that is extremely sexually active.  Testing The Who :  The Who is a vastly spread allover the world, but I'm particularly talking about the rise in America. Sex is a part of human nature, this is not limited to a specific area but there is a noted rise in America. Within American those who seem to be most a risk are gay men or those who partake in high risk sexual behavior.  Testing the What:   Testing the rise in infected people. Many people who become infected aren't aware and don't get symptoms for months at a time and continue to infect...

6A – Identifying Opportunities in Economic & Regulatory Trends

Economic trend: Rise in STDS/ HIV Source: https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/28/health/std-rates-united-states-2018-bn/index.html I believe that there is an opportunity existing in this issue due to the sensitivity and regard of health. Last year about 2.3 million US cases of STD's were diagnosed, being the highest number ever recorded. The prototypical customer are those who are sexually active, all races, all genders and all ages. STD's are easily spread when no using protection, many people go months undetected and infect other people. This is a snow ball effect. I think I saw this opportunity because there is not enough attention and education placed on the severity of this issue. It is not cheap to get tested or treated so people are deterred, which adds on to this nation wide issue. I feel that this would be easy to exploit due to the fact that this effects peoples health and rest if their life. Economic trend: Overpopulation effecting the environment Sourc...

5A – Identifying Local Opportunities

Spinach and Mesclun recalled after testing in two states flag possible salmonella https://infoweb-newsbank-com.lp.hscl.ufl.edu/apps/news/document-view?p=WORLDNEWS&t=pubname%3AMIHB%21Miami%2BHerald%252C%2BThe%2B%2528FL%2529/year%3A2019%212019/mody%3A0124%21January%2B24&f=advanced&action=browse&format=text&docref=news/1712732951D72F38 There has been a recall for salmonella on both spinach and mesclun which is an assortment of baby greens. This recall did not come from the FDA but from the Florida Department of Agriculture and New York State Department of Agriculture and market. The problem presented in this article is that consumers of either spinach or mesclun can be at risk of salmonella therefor it is being recalled and not sold at supermarkets. Stores must recall, and refund any products that may be contaminated or affected.  This problem is linked to a few, the FDA who is short staffed from the shutdown of the government, the producers of the product...

4A – Forming An Opportunity Belief

1)  Your beginning point. I have a belief that their isn't a market that caters to flattering and comfortable underwear like bathing suit bottoms for women.  2)  Describe your belief. For years now I have been seeking the perfect bathing suit bottoms, that I have yet to find. This unmet need of comfortable swimwear is essential for women in Miami, which is where I'm located. Women of all shapes and sizes would benefit from this especially the more curvy, pear-shaped body type. This need has always existed, the issue has not been properly approached and vision has yet to be created. I've seen a few brands that offer a similar concept but the style is not what I have envisioned. They are limited in shaping, style and coverage. I would like to appeal to a vast market of women. I am confident and sure that this opportunity exist, women of all types prefer the comfort of underwear rather than bathing suit bottoms.  3)  Identify the prototypical custome...

2A – Bug List

1) No peaceful areas in my neighborhood to connect with the surroundings. I enjoy meditating by the water, the only place available is a private lot. The cops sometimes show up to escort you out. This bug exist because the citizens of my neighborhood don't value the power of connecting to nature. Instead of creating a park, we use it as private vacant land.  2) The use of plastic bags in grocery stores. I am conscious about everything I do, it hurts to watch the mindless overuse of workers and customers in plastic bags for everything.  These bags tend to be used for a 15 minute period of transportation, and then they're thrown out.    3) They should make gas pumps long enough to reach any side of the tank. Its so irritating when the gas station is full and the only spot open is for the tank on the opposite side. With the vast varieties and models of cars the gas could be on either side. Easiest way to solve this is make all pumps compatible. 4) Constru...

3A – My Entrepreneurship Story              Since a young age I never had a fixation on a specific job, all that fueled me was the want to be my own boss. I am a creator, I am here in this lifetime to fully connect my mental to my physical and be of service to this world. I exposed myself to the entrepreneurial  lifestyle and mindset. I've done a few projects, my most successful was a vegan meal preparation service. This was targeted towards people interested in elevating their health through easy, pre-made, delicious and nourishing meals. I would specialize meals due to my clients preferences and likings. With mixed and matched offers of breakfast, lunch, dinner and single meals for the week. Successfully I did something I am passionate about and it felt liberating. I see many powerful projects in my future.     I enrolled in this class because I'm in the Innovation Academy offered here at UF. The Innovation Academy is po...
