I was in a group of 4 people to do a navigating project around Phnom Penh. Our teacher set up 3 missions for us to complete in only 3 hours. We were out in the city without any adult with us. These are the three following missions:
- Waseem need two ‘mpu6050 gyroscopes with 3-5 input voltage”. Find and purchase them.
- Take photos/videos of Boden/White Building
- Matt would like to be able source raw chickpeas beans. He is having a hard time finding them. Every store sell canned chickpeas, but it much harder, to find raw chickpeas. Figure out where they are sold and what the unit cost is.
Through this experience, I felt more comfortable walking around the city without any adult with me. I know how to bargain better with my friends than if I were alone because my friends could help me with negotiating the person. Walking around the city, to find stuffs isn’t easy. I learned to do more research, talk to people face to face or contact them by making phone calls. Another thing that our teacher taught us that I found interesting was the pattern of the street in Phnom Penh. At last I also know a little better on how to use the map to find our destination and where we at. Another thing I was really happy about was that, we get to give those material/information to our learning facilitators that needed it. I also get to make a video since I love making videos! I think doing this had help me a lot and it’s a great way of teaching because the students were able to face real life challenges/situations.
