Hi guys<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last week we went on our year end trip to the UVic, where we attended a multitude of different STEM workshops and activities, including visiting\/touring a waste management facility, optimizing paper airplanes, making mechanical claws, and making boats, as well as some fun recreational activities like going to a board game cafe, exploring downtown, touring a really cool bridge, and capture the flag. We left early Monday morning, and spent the whole week in Victoria, returning Saturday evening. Some notable events that I enjoyed were exploring Downtown Victoria, making boats, and making paper airplanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My favorite part of this trip was probably getting to spend time with my friends, whether we were doing a workshop, playing games, or just messing around. I also really enjoyed the boat activity, because it gave us a chance to demonstrate our creativity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My biggest takeaway from this is that I don\u2019t wanna do comp sci\/computer engineering as my major. During the coding workshop for optimization algorithms, I didn\u2019t understand anything, and all I remember was something about particle swarm or something, which just made me more confused. On a positive note, I learned that optimization is something that pops up in a wide variety of aspects of life, not just engineering. For example, weightlifting has some aspect of optimization, so does go karting, and so does science, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyways thats it for today bye guys see u next blog post !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
