Group 4 Project by IBDP Year 2 Students

Recently, the class of IBDP Year 2 has showcased a presentation on IB mandatory criteria called Group 4 project. Group 4 project is a collaborative work carried out by the students of science subjects which include physics, chemistry, biology, and ESS.

The goal of the group 4 project is to solve a specific problem involving all scientific criteria. We, the class of 2023, decided to address a problem involving the school cafeteria. The objective of the project was to improve food, nutrition, and energy system of the cafeteria. The topic was selected after we discovered that our school’s food systems are inefficient or do not produce their best results. As a result, we analyzed various solution for the issue to be resolved.

During, the planning process we experienced major setbacks due to lack of understanding on the overall concept of group 4 project. We couldn’t decide the agendas appropriately to the group 4 criteria. Despite the setbacks, we continued our journey through the use of critical thinking and collaborative skills. The planning process took overall of 2 hours, at last we decided the issue to revolved around school cafeteria.

Finally, we concluded with a fruitful result, as we discovered potential solutions for the school cafeteria. Overall, we have had diverse experiences as a result of several experiments, and we have also developed our collaborative and communication skills as a result of communicating with our classmates as we worked to develop a meaningful ending with a solid experiment result. The project also depicts the long-term effects of the school cafeteria, as most of the science subjects that handled this group 4 project forecast future outcomes and produced results that would aid in the development of a better environment in the cafeteria. In conclusion, the upcoming batch will have a clear plan to follow for their future presentation.

Visit to EMK Center: A Hands-On Adventure in Technology and Innovation

Students from IB DP Year 2 and WACE 11 had an exciting and educational visit to the EMK Center, diving into the world of technology through interactive activities. The day began with a fun introduction to Makey Makey, where students turned everyday objects like paper and pencil into touchpads, blending creativity with basic electronics. They then engaged in a problem-solving session, learning the importance of asking the right questions before diving into solutions. Next, the students experienced the thrill of coding with a drone flying activity, where they controlled mini drones using tools similar to Scratch. Additionally, they got hands-on experience with SketchUp software, creating 3D models of houses, which helped them understand the basics of design and architecture. A key highlight of the visit was exploring Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), where students immersed themselves in virtual environments and learned about the practical uses of these cutting-edge techno...
