Hey CD!
I know that there are way to much clubs on CD currently... But I think this one could be really interesting and helpful...
So, here is the idea :
If a team you know or you are part of is small, I invite you to share its informations here... Maybe something like the number of students, mentors, what were the main struggles of the team, its greatest victory...
Here's mine
:
I'm part of team 5859 i, from Québec, Canada.
There is one student on the team and two mentors.
The biggest struggle of the team was right when it started. We really needed money but a lot of companies were afraid to sponsor us since they thought that a team this small would not impact the community or just not get to compete at all. It was pretty hard to contact all those companies and having to deal with all those negative answers...
Our biggest victory arrived right after that. I participated in a room escape game in Ottawa and immediatly tought :"What a nice fundraising activity idea!" Back home, I started finding ideas, objects, enigmas... And I created inXtremis, the first room escape game in the region. It's really cool and helpful for the team since :
- It gives a good image of the team
- The earnings from it are constant
- I learn to manage an enterprise
- 100% of what people pay is profit for us since the local we use is sponsored
