And so, without realizing how the time passed by, another day of the National Robotics Team’s bootcamp came to an end. We cannot describe it as anything but productive as it was filled with numerous challenges, meetings with our sponsors, the enjoyable break with a concert from a local school, and above all, the hard work of all the members.
Once again, we experienced many “Magical Moments” all together and discussed them while the sun set. We all felt an indescribable feeling of adrenaline and unimaginable sense of teamwork from the tasks assigned to us by Mr. Perlantidis, our coach. We also had the unique experience of presenting our team and goals to our sponsors. This allowed all of us to develop our social skills and learn how to effectively explain the results of our hard work and everything behind the scenes. Our sponsor’s speeches, especially the one from the president of the American Farming School, Jeff Lansdale, left a lasting impression, inspiring and motivating us to focus more on the questions we ask rather than the answers we receive.
To help us get more comfortable with each other and “break the ice”, Eduact’s team had prepared a party giving us the chance to get to know each other better and most importantly, have a good time. The incredibleband“SKARLET” made sure we took a break from robotics and sang along with them and the amazing classic rock and metal songs they performed so dynamically! Additionally, the refreshing stand with mocktails and soft drinks kept us cool throughout the event. All of these things resulted in us having the time literal of our lives and forming friend groups.
Finally, we all were eager to go to our beds early after such a fun but long day, however, the excitement of completing all the deliverables for the next day combined with the energetic groups that we had formed, didn’t allow us to rest just yet.
