To help you understand the functionality of PROJECT: Education Outreach™, PEO™ we have provided a brief outline for you here.

The objective of this program is to create a conduit for games, toys, and a variety of other juvenile products into a real-time hands-on evaluation effort, as part of the curriculum for Title I public, Charter, and general education public schools.

The structure is simple:

  • Provide products at no charge to the school or other facility for hands-on product evaluation.
  • Take the evaluation responses from the schools to monitor the progress of skill development for the students and modify as needed for greater level of functionality.
  • Perform basic pre-market and current market analysis of the products via the school staff, students, and parents to provide a breakdown for the product developers.
  • Produce Family Nights for all schools in the program where parents and kids can interact, evaluate new products, and receive products by way of a random raffle at end of session.  The random raffle will assure less risk of bias being developed in evaluation.

One of the basic fundamentals of this program is to develop a mutual balance of support for families, schools, and product developers.  It will stimulate interest in new products available and provide more of an even playing field for products getting into the mainstream in competition with major players such as Hasbro, Mattel, etc.

The program also provides the necessary elements to enhance and or restore the current learning platforms to achieve far greater results and effectiveness.


ABSOLUTE ROI

One of the greatest features of this program is how it provides a literally absolute return on a sponsor, or school's investment. 

For the sponsors, they get absolute unbiased hands-on consumer feedback from the specific target market group they are seeking to reach. They also develop branding or "seeding" of the product branding which grows without any further expenditure.

For the schools, the time they allocate for the program enables them to have a first-hand experience with products, sometimes before they are even available on the market.

  • IPi/TTMPG approved products are brought into each school. The products are inserted according to State and Federally education standards, to be used as part of the curriculum of the students throughout the year.


  • Students and parents alike, are educated in how to create a “Constructed Response” in their evaluation of each product.  The students will be graded only in their classroom evaluation.


  • Students who demonstrate strong effort in their development of their writing skills and other factors associated with the Constructed Response of products, will be able to participate in one of the focus groups for added grades and rewards accordingly.


  • The family nights, (or as some schools have established, The Toy Man nights), parents and students will be handed products to play with or experience during the event.  Both parents and students will fill out the forms which will be in both Spanish and English. At the close of the event, all products will be collected by school staff and then distributed to the families in attendance by way of a raffle. 


  • The Constructed Response forms will be collected and the information contained in them will be used as part of the evaluation process by The Toy Man Product Guide staff for products which are not already inducted.

The overall responses from the parents and students will be compiled and portions of the content allowable by law to be shared with the product developers of each product.
