Day 3!

Today we started with some icebreakers. It was quite ironic that we didn’t do it earlier but only in the 3^rd Day, but we still have many more days ahead of us to know each other more! We played some short and interesting games and at least we know one another’s names by now.

After that we went on to the start of our programme, it was quite interesting listening to all the lectures and surprisingly most of us managed to understand the concept of iondrive. I am surprised that the lectures managed to make something so hard to understand for us and turn it into something so simple through simple physics concepts.

Following which, we were finally brought to the Physics lab! It was nothing like the RJC lab, they have loads of equipment down there. It was quite cool with the experiments that they have done! And there were sparks everywhere. We even got to see plasma with our own eyes!!

After the tour, we were then split up to our own groups and we are supposed to make our own rocket prototype! It was quite frustrating at first when we couldn’t paste the structure well with super glue, but when we saw our rockets fly it was all worth it! Hope there are more less frustratings sessions in the future!

We then had Gravitation tutorial with Mr. Chong, usual A Level stuff. After that, it was free time. It was quite nice going to the sports centre after a long week of no exercising! Some of us played basketball, some of us went gym, while others went swimming!

Overall, today marks the start of our programme. Looking forward to bonding with one another and enjoying ourselves and learning Physics in the process! We miss all the people in Singapore!
