In order to ensure that our range of clothing meets the requirements of its discerning customers, every year Eureka invites children (and a parent or guardian) to apply to join our Development Squad as co-designers for the year. We like to hear what our customers have to say as well as involve them in the design and testing process. Plus its alot of fun!

The squad’s role is to review, monitor and recommend improvements to the Eureka range, trial and test new designs and suggest new styles through discussion groups and surveys as well as help with fit and photographic modeling.

Each member receives an official Eureka Development Squad tee and a certificate of merit upon completion. It's a real learning experience, a chance to brainstorm ideas, think, be creative, learn about personal appearance / style and to gain confidence in themselves.

Check out our current Eureka 2010 Development Squad below, a very creative bunch. We will be on the hunt again for our next wave of members in February 2011. Watch this space!
