4 Weeks To Go!

Pozdrav Komete! ( Hello Comets in Croatian)
Last week we were full of Christmas cheer and we shared it with by all by dropping eggs out of a 2nd story window. One team was successful, and one egg splatted to the floor so we were not awarded with marshmallows, but we learned much more important things about teamwork and were able to look beyond the marshmallows.

Egg Drop!

We then split into two groups (Even though a team should never be divided), one of which worked on getting Zone 2 to work, while the other crafted marshmallow (MARSHMALLOW is the werd of the week) hot chocolates and gift tags. These will be sold at the school Bazaar on December 14th.

In the end Group One ( one is the true wurd, not marshmallow) did get the animal conservation mission working so we now have an added 40 points!Way to go Group One!

40 pts! Yay!

 Also shoutout to Olivia because she is awesome and wrote this weeks blog entry. 

Our Trip to the Serengeti

      Hello Comets! Last week was our second week back since the Kingston Regional tournament so that means we have 5 weeks left until the provincial tournament that will be held in Oshawa, Ontario on January 14th (more details yet to come).
   
Let us take a moment to recap what we did last week

     A)  Last week we were exposed to the wonders of Serengeti by Virtual Reality and we truly realized how difficult it is to count animals by driving around in a truck.

    B) We made reindeer hot chocolates which we plan to sell at the school Christmas Bazaar on December 14th. We plan on making more hot chocolates next week. Keep in mind we will need to make signs and figure out how much we plan on charging.


     C) Hannah, Nicolas, Olivia, Lais and Neshaya worked on programming the second box of the shark transportation so we are now 3 pts ahead! Wohoo!

Pineapple is the combination of letters you will be required to write on your slip of paper Thursday.

   
     D) Tara, Macy and Alyssa worked on painting the wildebeests so we can promote diversity as well as animal conservation throughout the season. (Also so the computer vision systems can identify different wildebeests)

 
     E) Lily was sick so we offer our condolences to her- Our condolences Lily 😪
