Kids were tasked with a variety of challenges from Days 1 to 3 and for very good reasons too! 
Apart from teambuilding, collaboration, thinking out of the box and problem solving, which are part of the key skills of 21st Century Learning, they also learnt how to use materials in different ways and in so doing, they were prepared to take on the business challenge we set for them on the last two days of camp.
Creativity was seen everywhere, from the innovations the kids made throughout the camp, which we displayed prominently in the room to keep them inspired throughout the camp duration, to the posters lining the walls of the camp venue.
What was also important was them understanding how to take on a leadership role and delegating tasks and sharing work among the team members, which is not an easy thing for them to do at their age. Many of them wanted to do their own thing and found it hard to accept that others had ideas too.
In the end, we were very impressed with the achievements of our 4 teams: Team Silent Killers; Team Lightning Bolt; Team Unicorn Buddies and Team AAX. They put in a lot of effort into the development of their respective products which was showcased during the Investors Fair on the last day of camp and their efforts certainly paid off.
The kids gave presentations and demonstrations on how their products worked to their parents, aka investors, who then were given some time to take an active role in this fair by 'investing' in the toy that they felt had the most potential as well as the best business plan.
Also, here's a BIG shout out to the wonderful team of facilitators that made the camp such a success: Leslie, Wee Pin, Zeke, Linn and Noble. With additional support from Tony, Julian and San. You guys were great! Thank you so much!
Here's to the fantastic kids of Camp Super Spies Nov 2012, congratulations to you all for a fantastic job done throughout the week! See you at our next JLPC event!
