Mini report
I decide to participated in this Catapult Challenge event is because I want to challenge myself to see whether I can apply the physical theory to real world and also I hope to recognize new friends from this event.
During the events, we are distribute by about 10 groups and each group is 5 members. After the briefing about the event for the rules and regulations, we were given materials with few of ice cream stick, a plastic spoon and some rubber bands. To win the game, we need to create a small catapult by the limit materials given, and we need to use the catapult to throw a ping pong ball into recycle bags that consist of few different marks. Each group have 3 chance to throw the ping pong ball and the highest marks obtained by the group will be the winner for the game.
In the process, me and my group members discuss about the structure and cooperate together to built the small catapult. And at the end , we managed to build it in time. Although we didn't win in this competition, but I still feels proud for myself.
Self Reflection
In this event, I feel proud for myself because I dare to challenge myself to involve a competition with others. I love this kind of events because it makes me can think out of the box and let me know how to use the knowledge that I learned in the lecture and book to the reality world. In this events. I learned the leadership and teamworking skill because I cooperate with my team members with listening and express our opinion to built the catapult. It also taught me how to tolerate with people especially when we are accomplishing a task together. Besides, I also feel happy because I have this chance to expand my social circle by recognize new friends during the event.
At last I feel very grateful to my team members although we didn't win in this competition but I had learned how to tolerate with people especially when I am accomplishing a task with others .
