PMU Students in SCITECH Knowledge Event

Follow @pmuofficial Tweet      

Under the supervision of Campus Life, a group of students representing the department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences participated in SCITECH’s Seventh Knowledge Event.
The purpose of this participation was to educate people about the properties of gold (specifically density). Up to 300 guests came to PMU’s booth to inquire about, and learn from the experience. Participants’ ages ranged from 5 to 50 years old.
This experience helped PMU students develop their own competencies while educating others. They learned how to deal with and communicate with people from different age groups, and educational backgrounds. It was crucial for them to ascertain the most effective process to educate each age group effectively. This meant that they had to carefully consider the questions asked, and allow everyone the time needed to fully understand the process.
They also benefitted by observing and understanding the work that had to be done to organize such an event. They saw that teamwork is important in these type of events. They delegated tasks to others, while taking into account that everyone on the team needed to take different roles to gain the most from the experience.  The event was held from 4pm to 12pm daily. After the first day, they realized when the peak period was, and when most school children would come, and organized themselves accordingly.
