WBL Workshop #5

Friday, March the fifth I was given the opportunity to attend the TEN80 education workshop sponsored by the U.S Army held at York College. It was a really fun event. We were noticed that we were all going to attend to a different category this to where 6 different workshops were available. The Lead, the Pitch, the Race, the Game, the Beat and the Code. I was told to go to code and so we followed two guys who were representatives of that single workshop.  Afterwards they took us into the working area and we were given some little project that we had to complete in small groups.  I worked with a complete stranger from another school but I found it usefull in the sense where I got to actually talk to someone and whatever she knew I learned and whatever I knew I'd pass it onto her. So i put into practice one of the soft skills which is communication and also working in groups.  So the little project was about creating our own video game. I found it interesting because we used a program that i had never seen before but it felt nice when i recognized some pieces of code. After this we were supposed to come up with another game without many instructions given, because we didnt have enough time we weren't able to complete it but I feel like for the most part the lady that was in charge of us did know how to cover the key factors of the whole presentation. We were then back at the auditorium with the rest of our classmates,  we grabbed lunch and that was all for the day.  I did enjoy this trip,  I gained a lot of knowledge, I met new people and most importantly I completed another requirement to graduate with a CTE diploma.
