The 21st Century E-Commerce program offers Year 9, 10, and VCE VM students a dynamic blend of financial literacy and hands-on technology experience. Students will engage in creating virtual products, managing their costs, and marketing them through an e-commerce platform. They will gain practical skills in financial decision- making by calculating profit margins and break-even points, as well as applying digital design tools to develop product graphics. This program also includes opportunities for real-world application, such as interpreting financial statements, collaborating on complex business problems, and exploring drone delivery calculations.
The program emphasises collaboration and gamification, providing students with a realistic and engaging learning experience. By tailoring the program to focus on physical merchandise or integrating drone delivery components, students can explore various aspects of e-commerce that align with their interests and needs. This approach not only enhances their understanding of business concepts but also prepares them for future technological and financial challenges in the evolving digital marketplace.
