Lighting the lamp of learning
To reduce incidents of truancy and encourage students to attend classes, a technical/trade school began offering students a small "prize" for attending each class throughout the semester. As an added incentive each teacher used a different prize related to his or her class. Finding low-cost products that would interest students was a challenge. The auto mechanics instructor chose a utility flashlight/headlamp to entice the would-be mechanics. The product could convert instantly from a hand-held light to one worn around the head, was shock-and chemical-resistant, with a textured grip for easy handling.
