The Foundation students learned to improve their communication skills by using a paper-cup telephone. With this, they shared and passed messages among their friends. When they spoke into the cup, the sound waves produced by their voice would make the bottom of the cup vibrate. These vibrations would then travel through a string connecting the two cups. The sound waves, which were transformed into vibrations, were then transmitted inside the second cup, conveying the sound of the speaker's voice. This activity was designed to enhance the student's listening and speaking abilities.

The experiment served as an interactive way to examine and explore emotions, and how they can be influenced by different factors.
