Presentations & Robot Building

For our meeting on Wednesday, each team member gave a short, 2-3 minute, presentation on a subject of their choosing to help them with their presentation skills.  

Damek gave a presentation on How The Brain Works.

Emmett gave a presentation on Getting Over My Fear Of Heights.

Kenny gave a presentation on the ISS (International Space Station).

Eden gave a presentation on Telemark Skiing.

Luke gave a presentation on a Minecraft World.

Coach Stephanie took videos of the presentations so we could all watch and offer feedback on what was great about the presentations as well as offered feedback on what could be improved.  We talked about what makes a good presentation and the boys will do their presentations again next week using the feedback as a guide.

Also at the meeting the boys built 2 robots.  Eden & Kenny worked together and finished building a robot that they had started the previous week,


and Damek, Emmett & Luke worked together and built a second robot.



The boys will test these out and see if they need to do any modifications to them.

For our Core Values part of the meeting, Coach Deanna led a team building activity.  

There was a 3x3 box with a grid and working as a team we had to find a way to fill 6 of the squares in without having 3 in a straight line touching each other.  The result was that we found 2 ways to fit them in without 3 touching each in a straight line. - Damek















The boys & Coach Stephanie also went over some of the missions on the table to brainstorm how they might do some of the missions, what missions they really want to do and what missions they might scratch.
