𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐥: 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐭!

The 𝙋𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙣 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙖𝙩 is a unique subspecies of the binturong found exclusively on the Palawan Island in the Philippines. One of the notable features of the Palawan Bearcat is its ability to emit a pungent odor, similar to that of popcorn or corn chips. This distinct scent is believed to play a role in communication and marking territories. Its distinctive appearance, prehensile tail, and pungent odor make it a fascinating creature of the Southeast Asian rainforests.

Turtle conservation and wellbeing are greatly dependent on animal welfare and awareness. Turtles are amazing animals that have a special ecological significance and should be treated with respect. We can increase awareness of the need to conserve and maintain these amazing reptiles by bringing attention to the problems they face, which include habitat degradation, pollution, climate change, and illegal trading. Enacting policies such as designating protected areas, enforcing fishing regulations, and encouraging eco-friendly travel can help ensure the long-term viability of turtle populations and their environments. We show our dedication to sustaining biodiversity and preserving the natural beauty of our planet for future generations by appreciating and protecting these ancient species. 

Every turtle has a story to tell, and it's up to us to listen and protect their future.

In the fast-paced and competitive world of business, the process of finalizing a product is a critical step towards success. It is the culmination of extensive planning, research, development, and iteration, aimed at creating a solution that meets customer needs and drives business growth. Finalizing a business product involves a comprehensive evaluation of various factors, including market viability, product features, user experience, pricing, and branding.

This crucial stage requires meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of both the product itself and the target market. It involves making informed decisions based on thorough analysis and feedback from stakeholders, such as customers, investors, and internal teams.

Way to Go!

The Business Model Canvas is a strategic management tool that visually represents the key elements and components of a business model. It helps entrepreneurs and organizations understand and analyze their business model by breaking it down into nine essential building blocks. We have shown our product's business model canvas, which is a pin-tracking device designed just for the CMU students living within the vicinity of Musuan, Maramag, Bukidnon. As was to be expected, there were modifications to our product in terms of features, pricing range, and material sources, among other things. We've come to the realization that our product still needs a lot of improvement. And as prospective entrepreneurs, we just want the best for our consumers, don't we?

Some parts and equipment required for the device's development were expensive and difficult to locate in physical stores. We have decided to buy affordable yet high-quality parts for our gadget from online retailers like Shopee, Lazada, and many more. We know that ordering products online can lead to a number of problems, particularly since we can't inspect the actual products to check for defects. But we made sure to shop at reputable establishments that have received a lot of favorable internet feedback.

First and foremost, our gadget will cost a thousand and five hundred pesos. This is determined by the price of the items as well as the labor charges for our software developers' services. However, given that it's somewhat expensive for such a small device, concerns were raised. Upon examining the entire budget breakdown for the device, several computation errors were discovered. This leads to the entrepreneurs' decision to change the item's price range. It has since been determined that the price is less than what was initially offered. This will ensure that the majority of students are able to purchase and use our product.

One of the features of the device is that it will produce a sound once clicked. However, we've come to realize that the attacker may be triggered by the sound coming from the device causing it to do harm to the students. The sound feature was disapproved but we still made a stand on it. Instead, we've come up with the idea that the sound feature will still be enabled and will notify directly to the security personnel instead.

Initially, the device was restricted to students who lived in the Musuan, Maramag, Bukidnon areas. However, it raised concerns about what might happen if the students ventured too far from the area. Will they be protected due to the pin-tracking device? Or will predators find them more easily? In that regard, should our product launch be a success, we intend to expand the device's availability. We shall be able to guarantee that Bukidnon inhabitants as well as students will be safe in this way.

Prior to launching our product, we had to notify the university about the safety of the students, therefore we intended to collaborate and get approval from the CMU PRIO. If our proposal for the pin-tracking device is approved, we will be able to proceed with the smooth development of our product. Without a doubt, we will also abide by the rules and guidelines set forth by the CMU PRIO, since we trust their expertise to know what's best for the students.

Experts in software development are crucial to the advancement of our product. We have identified a few software developers who are knowledgeable about devices. We took care to ensure that our interactions with them would be seamless and that they would receive payment for their work. Their expertise on this subject is vital to us since these professionals have a track record of creating software and gadgets that advance humankind.

Hopefully, launching our product will be a success. Definitely, we are very much open to constructive criticisms and pieces of advice from experts. In summary, while tracking devices can have potential benefits for student safety, it is crucial to address privacy, consent, data security, ethics, autonomy, and transparency. Adhering to these considerations can help create a safe and respectful environment while utilizing tracking technology responsibly.

I Have What It Takes

Student entrepreneur? As for now, I don't anticipate becoming one anytime soon. If the proprietor of my business lacks financial restraint, I'm afraid it will fail. Anyway, there are a ton of young entrepreneurs today. It's nothing new. I'm tempted to join this elite group of people. I am not a risk-taker, though, and an entrepreneur needs someone like that.

Students who study entrepreneurship get a variety of skills and abilities that are useful in both their personal and professional lives. It teaches them how to recognize and solve problems, think critically and creatively, and take prudent risks. In this subject, it aids in shaping my thinking to be more business-oriented. I suppose I want to understand how business people think. A mindset that is entrepreneurial enables you to recognize possibilities where others perceive challenges. It is a method of thinking that emphasizes opportunity and possibility rather than constraints and barriers. A person with an entrepreneurial mindset always seeks out opportunities to add value.

We've been doing a lot of socially interactive exercises that force me to rise to the situation. In the early days of rejection therapy, people would actively seek out social rejection in an effort to become more accustomed to the pressures of rejection. The essential rule is that you must experience rejection from someone else at least once per day.

So does rejection therapy work? I believe that self-led rejection therapy can be beneficial for individuals who are just trying to step outside of their comfort zones a little more, even though rejection therapy may do more harm than good for those who require additional support and resources from mental health specialists.

Who, of course, would forget this? The Marshmallow Challenge. A straightforward design exercise and team-building activity is the marshmallow challenge. To create the highest free-standing building using spaghetti, tape, and string with a whole marshmallow on top, the participants are divided into smaller competing groups.

We undoubtedly constructed the tiniest tower among the other groups. Although the task appeared to be simple, it was actually tough! But it was fun. It really calls for excellent teamwork and brainstorming. The process also demonstrates how success frequently depends on close cooperation while encouraging group creativity and innovation.

Moreover, I named this activity 'Do You See What I See?'. It was the most chaotic activity our class had ever engaged in. Do you think you can draw something without seeing it first? Can you work in a team or pair, where one draws a picture without the other one seeing? Will their pictures look the same?

Hence, I never thought entrepreneurial study could be fun. When you have an effective instructor, everything will be easier. The activities have opened my eyes to the fact that even someone who takes risks might benefit from perseverance. Additionally, asking for advice from others is essential.

Furthermore, our final product will be the safety pin device. The findings from conducting interviews with various persons of various demographic backgrounds show that most of them think the device can benefit a range of people, particularly students. Undoubtedly, there were concerns and doubts about our invention, but this inspired us to study and find solutions so that we could develop and provide people a gadget that can save lives with a single click.

Therefore, entrepreneurial courses help students develop real-world skills and prepare for their careers. I can remark that although students taking entrepreneurship courses may face significant challenges, their determination to push through them might help them develop character and stamina. What's the best part, you ask? If you think you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur, you can learn how to do it too!
