Re: Fun way to involve rookies at competition- would like feedback and ideas
Love the idea!
At Worlds last year our team participated in the FedEx Innovation Challenge which basically had them doing the same thing. It was great to see team members take a leadership role in planning the excursions, organizing the hunts and working with other team members to set up the photos and videos.
Do you intend for the students to post these on their own Twitter accounts? If so, is there any concern about privacy issues? I assume no if the student already has a Twitter account and have allowed you to follow them. I don't imagine it's an issue for an activity that your team put together just for yourselves, but it could become something to think about if this were to grow larger.
I assume this also means that most students on your team have easy access to WiFi at the regional and/or data plans on their cell phones? (As an international team visiting the US, when we were at Worlds we definitely relied on WiFi.)
I may just steal it for our own team rookies as a way to encourage them to explore and talk to people.
