Ipswich DECA is a new club in the high school that focuses on teaching kids interested in careers in business and finance the skills they need to succeed, including leadership, communication, and emotional intelligence as well as the fundamentals of marketing, management, entreprenuership, personal finance and more!

A big part of DECA is the creation of a school store. Ipswich has not had a school store for many years. This store will be run like a business, with a business plan, cash management, marketing strategy and other essential aspects of a successful business. Unfortunately, there is a significant space issue at the school so we do not have anywhere to host the store. Administration has given us approval to build a mobile school store cart that we can leave in a public area and move around during different times before, during, and after school to maximize sales.

This cart would need to be big enough to hold our inventory, designed to display it for sale, light enough for the kids to move it around as needed, and lockable to keep the inventory safe.
