 <title>DONATE: Keep YEIS running</title>
 <link>http://yeis.co.uk/index.php?itemid=11</link>
<description><![CDATA[YEIS is an educational experiment, and as such the decisions that the staff and students make can sometimes lead to a "non desirable" result -- ie sometimes we loose money!!<br />
<br />
The students take part to widen their horizons and our staff contribute time and experience to create a richer learning environment.<br />
<br />
Sometimes we would like, in the sense of "Dragons Den" to have a punt, take a flyer or just suck it and see, but the constraints of a school budget (read no budget), mean that nearly all of our ideas stay as just "ideas".<br />
<br />
If you would like to contribute to the running and administration fees of YEIS please consider donating, however small.]]></description>

 <title>What is YEIS?</title>
 <link>http://yeis.co.uk/index.php?itemid=10</link>
<description><![CDATA[YEIS is the <b>Y</b>oung <b>E</b>nterprise <b>I</b>n <b>S</b>cience project.<br />
<br />
YEIS was created as a result of the frustration of teaching secondary science in isolation, often divorced from the realities of how science is employed as a tool in the "real" world.  The introduction in 2006 of the "How Science Works" strand of the current GCSE specification has, to some degree helped, but it is a small concesion towards understanding the role and responsibilities of scientists as they are employed by businesses and in industry.<br />
<br />
YEIS aims to bring relavence of commercial applications to the study of science.  YEIS is an ongoing project, designed to compliment the rigour of  GCSE/A-level science and the entrepreneurial skills found in Business Studies courses.<br />
<br />
YEIS is run as a business by the staff and students of Bettws High School, Newport, SWales.<br />
<br />
The students:<br />
<br />
*  Research new and innovative products<br />
*  Devise market strategies and routes to market<br />
*  Investigate new uses for existing commercial products<br />
*  Create and revise application notes and briefings<br />
*  Test and report on all products suggested<br />
<br />
The staff:<br />
<br />
*  Provide science and business guidance<br />
*  Create and maintain this web presence<br />
*  Provide access and advice on the nature of ecommerce<br />
*  Guide and provide overall managerial input<br />
<br />
The board:<br />
<br />
YEIS is nomally run through the creation of a board of directors, comprising students.  Staff members take the role of non-executive directors, responsible for advising and providing business networking support.]]></description>
