1.   Develop an E-commerce strategy and approach for the Science Central Gift Store. Today, the store is accessible only at Science Central. Due to financial constraints and the fact that the gift store barely breaks even, the ability to sell and fulfill over the internet and perhaps through alternative distribution/partnerships a special line of science products at Learning Express would enhance the performance of the Gift Shop and the exposure of Science Central.
