Altitude Young Enterprise of the Hawkes Bay

The colour choices were designed to attract attention so that the product would stand out from the wares of other student companies.

Altitude Young Enterprise of the Hawkes Bay, part of the 2007 Young Enterprise scheme where high school students develop and run their own businesses, created stilts for modern day children fashioned from wood and finished in bright Resene Colorwood wood stain finished with Resene polyurethane. The colour choices were designed to attract attention so that the product would stand out from the wares of other student companies. The company was managed well, winning a local Best Stand award and being recognised with an award for their excellent financial management.

Thanks to the Altitude team, the stilts craze is catching on with most local schools purchasing many pairs to provide their students with a new way to practice their co-ordination.
