Heriot’s S3 Business Management classes had a fantastic opportunity to take part in the Stoats Challenge, where groups designed an oat bar and presented their idea to Olivia Stone (Director of Stoats and Former Pupil).
Aoife, Alex, Imani and Tom were this year’s winners with their amazing ‘S’mores’ inspired oat bar. Stoats kindly manufactured and donated 400 of the limited edition bars, bringing the winning groups flavour to life! All money raised is going directly to Social Bite – a charity working to end homelessness.
Here is what the winners had to say about the Stoats Challenge:
“It was one of the most fun challenges we have ever done. Having full control over bar design, ingredients and market research was a great opportunity and one that we did not want to waste. We decided on making a S’mores flavoured bar filled with marshmallows, oats, seeds, milk chocolate chips, and a dark chocolate drizzle. We chose this because S’mores are usually made at campfires and they are places of memories and happiness; we wanted people to remember that whilst enjoying our bar
.
We wanted our bars to be popular among people of all ages and raise lots of money to go to Social Bite, so we made the presentation eye-catching and engaging. We sold the bars in the playground at break and lunch. We’re glad that our hard work paid off and that we got the opportunity to sell our bars. Thank you to the business department and Stoats for this amazing opportunity!
