conscious, meaningful and relevant: to their communities
and themselves.

Random groups will be made during snack time when the students can decide to play a fun game together, and interact with their new friends. The machine was built so that people can come together and socialise with each other, something this activity does as well.

KEEPING UP WITH KREA

In random groups, the students will have to come up with an out-of-the box brand new invention and present it to a panel of judges (or investors), which consists of their seniors. Whoever gets the most investors wins! This activity seeks to bring out creativity and teamwork.
