We are coming close to the end of our second week here at Shad Valley UNB. Today was a very intense and exciting day! The day started off with a robotics competition. 15 teams made robots during this week and each got a chance to show off their programming skills and challenge themselves. The competition went well and three teams were rewarded UNB bags! We were honoured to have Barry Bisson around to cheer us on during the competition.
Later on during the day we met with Daryl Branscombe who gave us an inspirational lecture and also gave each Shad a copy of his book! After dinner we had a “town hall” lecture with Barry. Each Shad got the chance to ask any questions they had for him about his position as Shad Valley president and also about the Shad Valley program. We finished off the evening with time to work on our CT projects and afterwards we had a Harry Potter night! We went to the field outside our residence and played Quidditch and did a few Harry Potter skits! These first two weeks have been such a great experience, can’t wait to see what the last two weeks have to offer!!
