In an exciting initiative to promote teamwork, strategy, and friendly competition, as well as foster critical thinking skills in STEM fields among 9th graders, Richmond Park International Primary School students in Bihać, BiH, on May 8th, participated in a STEM board game competition which was organized by MCAA WBC.
They were divided into two enthusiastic teams, each brimming with energy and eagerness to showcase their gaming prowess. Through the medium of the game, the event also aimed to promote sportsmanship among the participants, since representatives of each group were walking on the board and rolling dice for their teams. After the questions were posed, they were given 15sec to consult with their teammates before giving their final answer and the reasoning behind it. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement and enthusiasm as the students engaged in intense yet good-natured rivalry. Displays of teamwork, quick thinking, and resilience were witnessed throughout the event, earning admiration and applause from their teacher.
The board game competition not only provided an avenue for wholesome entertainment but also served as a valuable learning experience for the students. The event concluded on a high note, leaving both participants and organizers eagerly anticipating future editions of this competition.
