Well, this sucks...

For school we have to do Math Market, which means we have a budget (loans from our parents) and we have to make a product and sell it. We have to make 100% profit at least, and that is B work at best.
Anyway, I suggested clay dragons because I'm good at making them, even though I know I'll probably end up doing all the work, because I want a good grade on this. (It's a pretty big project.) Now my mom's mad at me for letting the other group members "use" me. I just want a good grade  hmm
And, yeah, I'll probably be making all of the dragons...
It's between dragons and bookmarks now, and we don't get to decide which as a group, we survey people to find out what they want, and so far everyone has voted for dragons, even though most middle school kids will probably break them all anyway. This might seem kind of hopeless, but... suggestions on what I should do?  tongue

Ask someone on Scratch to write you out a program.  I could do it for you, possibly, depending what it is.  Um, maybe not.  Probably not.  99% not.  But given an idea, I might.  Remember that old Pokemon game I made in Python?  I could dig up the code from that.  It's actually right here in my Documents folder.  Just a little debugging from an update-gone-bad, and I could get you the code.

I think it has to be a physical item, like a craft or a food product

Re: Well, this sucks...

I know how you feel. I had to do an entire video project alone (for everyone in my group).

Anyway, clay dragons sound cool, but i'd imagine that bookmarks would be much easier to make...

Yeah. So I'm hoping we'll be able to go with bookmarks now... but then those won't sell as well, hence, I do want to do the clay dragons
Argh

I know how you feel. This happens to me all the time.  neutral
If you are going to make clay dragons, since you are probably the best at that, try assigning your other group members jobs like shaping (I mean making some squares and circles to shape the dragon, not like elaborate spikes or anything), painting (Solid colors, not complicated art, that could be your job), etc.

If you are going to make bookmarks:

Are you a good artist? Is someone is your group a good artist? Well, if so, just make the bookmarks so amazingly awesome that people will have to buy them.

Good suggestions! I'll talk to my group tomorrow when we have math class... actually, we don't... well we do but for 10 mins before the assembly so maybe we can have a quick talk then, I hope.

Re: Well, this sucks...

Well it's almost winter.  Try hot chocolate.  It's cheapish and you can easily sell it during lunch with permission.  To maximize profit divide your group in half and put up two small stands on opposite sides of the cafeteria or wherever you eat.  One near where you come in and one at the opposite end.  I was in elementary school and my group made a clean 300$ from it.
