We have been working very hard on our CT projects; while some groups have been more productive with their time than others, some spent theirs to “group bond” (snacking on chips, cookies, sunflower seeds). There were definitely a wide range of stress levels last night, finalizing the presentations and getting ready for today’s presentations.The presentations today were amazing! We were all formally dressed and looked like legit entrepreneurs! The judges gave us lots of useful comments and critiques, which are sure to be useful for our presentations on Open Day and even into our potential business careers up ahead!
After the presentations, we went to visit a BioMed Clinic and learned about prosthetic limbs. The walk-through was very interesting and was very relevant to this year’s Shad theme of helping children with disabilities to break barriers.
Later on, we did our Money Master finance presentations; because all the Shads were cramped in a tiny room, we really bonded well when the judges were walking around, examining and judging our presentations. Oh! and last but not least, for our late night tonight, we had movie night; all the Shads sat together and got cozy to catch up on the first part of the last Harry Potter movie.
All the Shads are currently downstairs still enjoying the movie, probably exhausted by now, but we cannot wait for another activity-packed schedule tomorrow!
