Wicked Soap
Wicked Soap company is a student lead company run by students funded by the Wicked Company. Students learn the process of creating soap, marketing their products and distributing to farmers markets and festivals. The Wicked Soap Company sold 45,000 soaps, and helped fundraise for further educational opportunities at High Tech High Media Arts.
Wicked Soap Company supported my ability to work in teams and produce and market a commercial product. I was on the web development team, where I had to help create the website for our company. I worked collaboratively with other students and helped create different pages dedicated to our site. I was involved with the Arts and Crafts festival, and helped advertise soap to customers. I also made five different kinds of soap with my partners, Owen and Ella. The wicked soap company was a fun experience and it introduced me to a real business model.
