Competition
PRESS
RELEASE
22 October 2004
The Victorians
were game for the challenge. Under the watchful eyes of the game station masters
and school teachers, they split into groups and sat in circles. Without wasting
any time, they engaged in the process of problem-solving, combining logic with
creative skills. They were given an hour for each game station, with a break
before going on to the third station.
By 12.40 pm, the competition was over. The
participants re-assembled to listen to Henry's appraisal. They were not only
told the correct answers to the ten posers in Mind's Eye, but also learned about
gravity and friction, about thinking out of the box (viewing in 3D instead of
2D!) and even a peek into the life of some inventors!
Mr Low Eng Teong the vice-principal
gave away the prizes to the seven winning groups from each station.
Here are some afterthoughts from the
participants on MSD:
Mind boggling, man! Khaizar Khuzema
Brain teasing! Leong Hong Chuen
The games work up your mind. Colin
Cheong
Here, we learn to apply what was
taught in class. Terence Phua.
Games and puzzles are definitely
better than assessment tests!Edmund Lim
Puzzles were very tough, not enough
time to solve. But IQ Logic was fun! Chan Wei Liang
Thomas Beckwith from Sec 1F, one of the winners,
found the puzzles challenging, said of his experience: You need to be flexible
and stretch your mind to solve the puzzles. But what is benefiting is that I
have learned to think in different ways to arrive at a solution. We were surprised we
won! We enjoyed IQ Logic most, said three modest members of a winning group from
Sec 1B Alvin Pang, Jarrett Chin and Alvin
Hoe. Click Below the links to get into
