From "0" to "1" and from "1" to "100", the students have put in a lot but also gained a lot.
On the one hand, they gained skills. Mily said that this is the first time she has designed this type of picture book and poster. This project has prompted her to delve into some ideas that she used to consider as "very advanced" and "difficult to realize” and improve her design ability. At the same time, Zoey mentioned that this project needed to turn the design ideas into products, which pushed her to focus on the design specifications and requirements and think about how to implement the design ideas.
On the other hand, they have also improved their comprehensive abilities significantly. "My communication ability has been greatly improved including close and efficient communication with the team members and the suppliers," said Haven. Fiona mentioned that in the process of completing this project, it was challenging for her to balance study and this activity. Self-management and time management skills were required, and she felt that she has improved a lot in this regard.
Obviously, the students also gained a sense of accomplishment. “I am really honoured to have the chance to use my artistic expertise to serve the family members of our IB community in this event. After designing interesting products and sending them to classmates and teachers, I felt great and deeply satisfied!" Mily said.
