Rifat identified that children love the food pouches available in all supermarkets ( market worth £M100’s per annum ) The off the shelf variety had good engagement with children and parents enjoyed the convenience. Rifats brainwave was to develop a brand Fill ‘n’ Squeeze to enable parents to home cook foods in pulp form that could be frozen and defrosted inside a custom pouch. Children engage with the pouches in a different way than home cooked food in a tupperware for example. So the product would allow parents control of what their child was eating and retain the convenience and engagement of the pouch. We helped Rifat identify that in addition to pouches Rifat would need a filling station, a type of kitchen ware that gives the brand a centre of gravity and steered away from alternatives such as syringing the food into the pouch.

Our students come from a range of schools within the Waikato.
There’s about 20 schools that are contributing schools to our college. Some of them have got technology background from their previous schools, but quite a few of them just come in with very little knowledge. But I think it is really important to understand that you know the students, and I think it generally goes right across the country, that students entering secondary school are coming in with a very low technological literacy level, and we’ve got to be aware of that so that we know we can pick a really good starting point. And I don’t think we should be afraid to start at a low level. It gives us the awareness that the students have got that knowledge as we are moving on. I focus on technological products, because I believe that the materials component in the products fits really well into what we’re doing.
