Before we left for Spring Break and Song Contest, a couple of weeks ago in physics class we had the final group competition where teams were able to receive the highest amount of points that week. The activity in which we all collaboratively competed in was RockBand! Being "group #1" we were on stage first. I did not want to sing at all, but it seemed that I had no choice... Until one of the group members saved my life (thank you Chayse!) so I played guitar, ‘Ekolu rocked out on the drums, Jordan held it down on Bass and Chayse serenaded the crowd with his voice. I'm not going to lie, our rendition of Creep was a winner. It was near perfection and I'm not only talking about the score! Yeah, we ended up with the highest score, the grand prize of 20 points and the win but it wasn't just that. It symbolized our group as a whole and our ability to work together. A total group effort and a great way to kick off Spring Break!

Our thoughts towards this project are that it will be a good learning experience not only for learning about how to problem solve, but also to work with each other. Also, instead of having someone to pull us along and tell us everything like in a normal classroom, most of the thinking will come from us, the students. Furthermore, the idea of having to do this while also making sure everyone is doing their own fair share adds another interesting aspect to this project. Proper communication and a good organized group should be what makes this project a success teamwork wise.  Also, this problem solving aspect of this project is something that is will be used in pretty much every future career. Being able to think critically in order to solve problems, big or small, is a very valuable skill. So, to be able to have a crack at achieving at all this and being able to give back to the school to make it an even better learning environment is a great privilege for us. We all look forward to doing our best and presenting not only a functional, but also a project that really helps the school community.
