  • Denim Deal
    by Robert Fuller, Stanley Jodziewicz, Robert Lord, Carlene Rose, and Taryn Zuccala
    Manchester Central High School

    Five teachers from Manchester Central High School created an interdisciplinary project entitled The Denim Deal. The overall purpose of the Denim Deal COOL Team was to combine three disciplines: history, economics, and marketing, utilizing current technologies. The project was to research historic and economic factors in Manchester as they relate to factory production at the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company in 1873. Using the information gathered, the students would then create a marketing presentation to Levi Strauss & Company. The goal was to convince Levi Strauss & Co. to buy their denim from the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company.
