“Ahoy, my hearties!! Weigh anchor and hoist the mizzen!” said the captain of the ship as the treasure hunt of the GEO 16 begins. The sailors (Team Guyana, Panama, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Seychelles, India, and Singapore) started their journey at the Gym of International Hub (IH) Building. As they sail through the vast journey of the event, they need to complete each obstacle and achieve their mission. The main goal is to collect the treasures scattered around the IH building. To collect these, each team must finish the challenges in the designated stations around the said location. After a team finishes a challenge in one station, they will get one national treasure. Once they collected eight national treasures, the team must race to the gym to do the final mission.
The final game entails solving for number one using all the materials (numbers and symbols) which students will get in each station. Once in the gym, the teams need to spread the numbers and symbols they collected and make a mathematical formula. Once they are finished, they should inform the TA to check their answers and declared if it is right or wrong.
The Stations
There are eight stations to be completed by each team. We have Station 1: The Singing room, 2: I am a Super Model, 3: Hold that Yoga Pose. 4: The Pictionary, 5: The Scavenger Hunt, 6: Paint a Picture, 7: The Speed Match and 8: The Blind Maze. After the team finishes each challenge in each station, they should be able to acquire one treasure and the clue for the location of the next station.
The station number 2 which is “I am a Super Model” boosts the creativity of each team. They need to be innovative in making super model clothes by using newspaper. Who would have known that we have these great super models in CUK? Great job to each team!
Another station is the “Paint a Picture” lead by TA Gellene. The rule is to pose as dictated by the TA. This station challenges the imagination of each team as they should come out with a striking pose. “Paint a picture of GEO OFFICE!.” If I were in their place, how will present that? Hmmm…
These are just a few of the stations that they need to complete. These tasks made each team develop their knowledge, improve their communication skills, discover their hidden talents and build a new camaraderie. Indeed, it was a night of thrill and adventure.
For the second time, congratulations Team New Zealand for winning the first place!! Team Guyana and Team Panama placed second and third respectively! It was a group effort and everyone did stick with each other. It was indeed great to see students enjoy and have fun at the same time. A big round of applause to everyone! Cheers!!!
