  • Stem/Steam Formula for Success

    Stem/Steam Formula for Success

    STEM/STEAM FORMULA FOR SUCCESS The Toy Association STEM/STEAM Formula for Succcess 1 INTRODUCTION In 2017, The Toy Association began to explore two areas of strong member interest: • What is STEM/STEAM and how does it relate to toys? • What makes a good STEM/STEAM toy? PHASE I of this effort tapped into STEM experts and focused on the meaning and messages surrounding STEM and STEAM. To research this segment, The Toy Association reached out to experts from scientific laboratories, research facilities, professional associations, and academic environments. Insights from these thought leaders, who were trailblazers in their respective field of science, technology, engineering, and/or math, inspired a report detailing the concepts of STEM and STEAM (which adds the “A” for art) and how they relate to toys and play. Toys are ideally suited to developing not only the specific skills of science, technology, engineering, and math, but also inspiring children to connect to their artistic and creative abilities. The report, entitled “Decoding STEM/STEAM” can be downloaded at www.toyassociation.org. In PHASE 2 of this effort, The Toy Association set out to define the key unifying characteristics of STEM/STEAM toys. Before diving into the characteristics of STEM/STEAM toys, we wanted to take the pulse of their primary purchaser­­—parents of young children. The “Parents’ Report Card,” is a look inside the hopes, fears, frustrations, and aspirations parents have surrounding STEM careers and STEM/STEAM toys. Lastly, we turned to those who have dedicated their careers to creating toys by tapping into the expertise of Toy Association members.

A STRATEGIC AUDIT OF ORIENTAL TRADING COMPANY An Undergraduate Honors Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of University Honors Program Requirements University of Nebraska-Lincoln By Isaac Coleman Computer Science College of Arts and Sciences April 7, 2019 Faculty Mentor: Samuel Nelson, Ph.D., Center for Entrepreneurship ABSTRACT Oriental Trading Company is a direct marketer and seller of toys, novelties, wedding favors, custom apparel, and other event supplies. Its products are sold by five brands, each of which participates in a different market. Though its flagship brand, Oriental Trading, is a powerful market leader in novelties and is doing extremely well, the four most recent brands each face distinct challenges and have low name recognition. To increase name recognition and direct sales of these brands, this audit proposes that OTC revitalize its social media presence, add a blog to all of its websites, and resume public participation in local events.
