Building Custom Objects, Custom Tabs, Custom Fields, Custom Reports, Dashboards, Workflow, Email Alerts etc are every day tasks for Sales Engineers...but our task this week was to give a group of 14-15 year old schoolgirls an overview of the Salesforce.com platform, and to see if they could design their own app.

We introduced the School Girls to a charity KEEN London, a charity Andy Jacques supports,  that help link up children with special needs (Athletes) with volunteer Coaches to help organise sports activities for them (giving the parents some much needed recuperation time). The Girls divided into five teams of 5, designated a project manager, researcher, configurators, presenters and spent 3 days constructing a CRM solution for KEEN. Suffice to say, it was a tremendous success. It was amazing how far the Girls came to building a real solution for the charity.

The following team pitched in to give support & guidance over the course of the week: Dominic Dinardo, Tom McDonagh, Mark Woodward, Peter Aubrey, Darren Smith, Philip Kenley and Isabel Kelly. Big thank you to the team - the results were amazing.
