Some stage decoration trick also I had learn from the activity. This also my first time I explored the painting with Pelaka paint to prepare the stage scenery. The task distribution and teamworking had become quite importance during the working on the preparation of event. My communication skills had be developed during the working in the event.

Mini Report
Degree++ Augmented Reality is a workshop to introduce and expose participants to Augmented Reality's theoretical and practical practice using ARToolkit and Visual Studio 10.0 software. In this program we had been introduced the idea of augmented reality and it implementation in industry. Instead introducing the basic idea of the augmented reality, we also had given a chance to experience the augmented reality program with our computer by using tool like ARToolkit during the program.
Self-Reflection
The experiencing of the augmented reality in this program is very special for me. Actually this is not the first time I exposure to the things like augmented reality. Before this, I actually had experienced the VR and "4-D" film during my recreation at Genting Highland with my family, and before I become a university student the AR game Pokemon Go had been popular for a several time. However, the running of the sample program that exist does not fulfill me since I did not create something through it, that why I will continue to study to exposure more features of ARToolkit can be used in other places. In my opinion, the field of AR is still in exploration stage and at the future maybe at the future more implementations and applications of AR will be invented and discovered.
Reflection
There are different reasons for people in choosing their course. For our group, we share the same goal by taking this SCSV courses which is become the game designer in our future. This is because most of the teenager nowadays are interesting in video games and we are also one of them. It is a fact that entertainment will influence study of students but their major problem is limited reading resource. So, our group design a prototype where it can help the student to increase their sources of study to help them in their study. This software app could increase the effectiveness in study as extra reading material and exercises are prepared and they could check the answer by themselves. This assignment let us learned about how important of teamwork and manage time wisely in making a project. Without these two things, we are unable to carry our job (game designer) properly. After making this assignment, we also found that what is our weak point that we must be improve so that it can improve our potential in the industry. Our weak point was altitude with others group member, poor speaking skill and also poor creative mind. To overcome these, we must spend more time to speak in language that we weak for, always be nice with others people and also learn extra information that cannot be found in the schoolwork. After solving our weak point, there will be better future waiting for us.
There are several goals we hope to achieve when we have the industrial visit for the Cool Code. First of our goals is to prepare ourselves to get used to working life before stepping into the industry workplace. It is purpose to make us able to achieve our ambition with life goal and to get the dreaming job we are seeking for after the graduation. Our second goal is to learn some lessons from their experiences in the works of development so we take them as references and consultations.
After the visit, we think the visit had gave us many impact to our goal. First, we have known more about the organisation of their corporation, the work content of their worker, and their achievement in their field of program development. Then, we also had realised that what skill is still lacking and have to be more improved. We are much admired to the harmonious working environment they had built and the team sprit between their colleagues.
So to improve our potential in the digital industry, we known we need some plan and action we should be taking. First, we have to pay attention to our study in our courses to learn more technique and skill to be used after take a job in the digital industry. Besides, we need to improve our cooperation of our course members so we can able to accomplish our task as best as possible and to make us learn and growth together. Finally, we known we still need to encourage ourselves to try different solving way to build our ability of innovation.
