Page dedicated to larger outreach ventures to schools and events. No need to include a reflection for simple open houses or bay visits unless they're more than just a short presentation of the team.

What we learned:

  • Class was at the end of their energy unit; so we didn't need to talk about it that much
  • Teaching aids were useful. We were asked not to bring the car due to the cold weather, but it would definitely be beneficial
  • The presentation didn't start until 15 minutes after the alloted time, since they needed to set the students up in the room
  • The teacher prepared the class by showing them the end of term video
  • The students drew us pictures of "car designs". Quite the fun read; can be found in the outreach filing cabinet
  • Alyssha should talk more

What we did:

  • Small fair hosted solely by the school for their students. They had many booths set up for games and events
  • Population was smaller than expected, and we didn't get too many opportunities to talk to people
  • Most of the time, parents came by with their children to look - asking questions and looking at the car
  • Car got hit with a basket ball. Ouch
  • Made a couple of connections with parents and their relatives who work in sponsoring companies on the car. Told them to plug a good word for us.
