Wolrd Challenge

Hey! For those of you who don't know my World Challenge team placed FIRST in the Solution Showcase and THIRD in the Overall Team Scores.

World Challenge is a great group to get involved in world affairs, This years topic was water and how we can save and sanitize it enough for other countries to use it. This was my first year in World Challenge. Same with my other team members and classmates that were in it.

There were two teams in the competition from Metcalf. The A Team was the name of my team since all of our names begin with A's. There was Alyssa, Allison, Avesta, and myself, Asia. The second team was H2OhSoCool. There was Nathaniel, Brianna, Sarah, Roumany, Raven, and Erick. They placed SECOND in the Solution Showcase.

Both teams did extremely well for our first time presenting and performing our skits. There were 18 other teams in the senior division as well as our two, so taking home first, second, and third place plaques home was AMAZING! I was so proud of our team, I cried cause I really didn't think we were going to do so well.

Our presentation and our posters were awesome, but there was this one judge during our second session presentation who totally bashed our project and he asked us the randomest questions that totally made us look bad. I thought that would impact our score but it looks like we did just fine. In general, the judges were awesome! They were cool, young, and super fun to interact with. Except for that one judge... That kind of ruined part of our day because that's all we could think about. We were so worried that his grading would affect my team.

Overall, it was an amazing day and I can't wait to join next year! Next years theme is food! PERFECT! And the best thing is that this kind of work looks great on a college application and job resumes. And the event is held every year at Machalester College Campus so its fun to see what it looks like.

That's all for now I guess? At least until I can think of something. :)
