STEM week was fun. Highschoolers got the STEM activity late.
They randomly select students from 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th students to team up and build a rollercoaster made out of 250 straws. I was lost in the crowd (because I forgot to look at the group name the night before) but coincidentally the 11th grader in the group spotted my behind her back. We did tons of figuring (on how to make a rollercoaster that makes the ball last the longest in the tracks)
and the guys in the group did most of it. Our group was situated in the middle of the auditorium (groups numbered 33-40+ had to do their projects in the classrooms) and then friends of a girl in the group dared this guy to beatbox; so loud that the groups around the area started looking at us O_O
Jeeja kept visiting me. Yeah. Our rollercoaster was 2nd tallest in height (1st was somebody's group) And after break we had to do this crappy Earth Day video (which by tha way it was supposed to be last week, but they said, "Fuck that we don't have time.") We got "Eco bag" so a senior went off to get plastic bags and we picked a 10th grade classroom. Most of the classrooms are being used by various groups. We filmed an awkward-looking video about a person using plastic bags and then it rips, and this guy starts raging. I HAD to admit this is actually a 100/100 storytelling and advocate for Earth-saving.
We went back to the auditorium where we tested each group's rollercoasters with a ping-pong ball. Ours was 12 seconds. I was so proud during building sessions, but after a group got 20 seconds, I'm already dead from there. But if we got 2nd place, at least we get an honorable mention.
Heard that the first place gets a trophy for the STEM week and a prize. The junior said it was snacks and the senior wished it was money. Haha X)
But if it was me I'd beg for SNACKS. Going to agree with the junior here.
Glad I'm in a cool team. Nice game - it's been golden playing with you guys ^_* |
