Get To Know You Meeting

This meeting was mainly a meeting so the students could get to know one another. Attendance was light, compared to last year's meetings, which was disappointing to the members involved with last year's charter group.

The two charter members introduced themselves and showed the remains of last year's robot. Our coach Mrs. Abbott discussed Robotics and our assistant coach Mrs. McDonald discussed BEST activities.

Mrs. Abbott facilitated a few games, including one where the kids went around and told something about themselves based on how many Skittles they took out of a bag. Some of them had to come up with quite a few descriptions! Afterwards, they ate all the
Skittles. They also played a few other games.

Mr. Abbott discussed building, tools, and safety at the conclusion of the meeting.

After the meeting, all the kids went outside and threw water
balloons at each other, and squirted each other with water guns. On a few occasions, the parents got a little wet, but not much. Some of the kids soaked each other with buckets. All in all, it was a good meeting, with more new faces than old ones.
