The purpose of this report is to reflect my experience on our group project during and after the workshop

Date: 24th April 2019, Wednesday

For the morning session, we gathered at Bustop KK8 at 7:00 am. We waited for everyone around 40 people for the morning session and departed around 7:30 am. At first, the estimated time for departure is 7:15 am but there were few people who lived far from KK8 so we need to wait for them first.

We reached our destination around 8:00 am. Shahku lead our way to the computer lab and the teachers and students were already there waiting for us. The teacher gave a short brief and separated us into two labs where the main lab will be used for the facilitators to conduct the workshop while the other one for the pc assembly and window installation activities.

There were around 30 to 40 form 4 and form 5 students joined the workshop. All of them are from computer science stream. They sat in a group with everyone have their own 1 Malaysia pc but also certain of them had to share the laptop as not many laptops can be used anymore. Before we started the workshop, the teacher gave a short introduction to the students about the activity for that day while we setting up the projector, laptops and etc. Then, our main 'lecturer', How Yong introduce himself and us and brief them about what they going to learn that day.

For the morning session, we started around 9:00 am and finished at 12:30 pm. The students looked very eager and excited to learn a new things. There were few of students asking many question about this and that, why this and why that, and that me more excited to teach them. They also told that they wanted to pursue their study in computer science field in the future.

As for the facilitators, we had to go around and asked them if they understand or not and explained to them to make the topic clearer. We answered every questions asked.

Next, we continued the evening session at 2:30 pm until 6:00 pm. This session is for form 1 and form 2 students that had zero knowledge about programming etc. As for this, we need to teach them slowly as some of them said that it's a bit hard. We have to repeat them same thing for few times for them to fully adapt that thing.

The workshop ended around 6:15 pm. Everyone looked very exhausted as we have been teaching since the morning until evening. But still, the workshop went well and it was a very good experience for us.

During the postmortem, every departments need to present their SWOTs. For our team, one of the strengths that we have is that we have a very talented "lecturer". He helped in preparing the notes for the student and also teach the students during the workshop from morning till evening. As for the weakness, even Jason told that we lack of communications between each other at first place. We couldn't agree more.

We end our project with a brief speech from Dr Reza and take some pictures. Afterall, he was glad that this project has ended and that we all have done our best to make this project success. Kuddos to everyone.

POSITIVE CHARACTERISTICS

Responsible. Everyone knows what their task and very comitted towards it. We tried to do our best and give it all out. For example, as the facilitators, we taught the kids from the basic slowly and answered every questions given even if we have to repeat it for so many times.
Good manners. Because we have to deal with small kids, everyone was being a very good brothers and sisters. We treated and talked to the kids a happy way to make them like on what they are going to learn.
Punctual. For the facilitators, we were very puctual about the time. We started and finished at the exact time. We gathered there first before the kids entered for the second session. This really portrayed how much we comitted to our works.

NEGATIVE CHARACTERISTICS

Punctuality. When conducting an event, time management is very important. Everyone should be aware of this as if one person late, he will make everyone also late. This happened in the morning when we were about leaving but there are still few people not coming. If they know, they live a bit far, they should go out a little early and if you cannot wake up early, ask your roommates to wake you up or set a few alarms.

OPINIONS ABOUT POSITIVE CHARACTERISTICS THAT SHOULD BE PRACTICED

Being organized. Organisation is essential for the smooth running of a project. Though each individual should be responsible for their tasks and the leader should ensure the members are getting their works and tasks are completed efficiently.
Don't stay in the shadows. It is not in good to just sit quietly without contributing any ideas to the team members. It's a good thing to involve with others.

WHETHER OR NOT CHANGE IN ATTITUDE REQUIRE

I can say no because from what I see everyone including myself had done our best. The leader, Jason also lead us perfectly. He always reminded us everything in case any of us forget and always be on time for every meeting and gathering. He distribute the works and give details about it for us to refer.

As for my facilitators team, everyone was amazing. The lecturer, How Young taught the kids in a funny and interesting way to not make the kids feel bored or lost focus. Even though we all already feel tired at the evening but we still continue teaching them. We put aside our tiredness to give our best. We also change the lecturer when we saw that How Yong already tired. This showed our cooperation between each other.
