Team Collaboration

The team has 3 members who took great interest in collecting the information on the topic. They divided their topic into subtopics and took up the areas which were most interesting to them .The topic World resources and how best to take care of them was thoroughly researched upon and information was gathered from various sources. The team then sat down to writre the required material for their different pages. The highlights include surveys conducted,multimedia presentations,pictures taken by team members,some pictures drawn on their own etc. Overall we can say it was a very collaborative approach and an enriching experience to all .

Team Diversity

The team has three students with different socio economic and cultural back ground.Parents of one member are totally uneducated and even others do not have an intellectual envronment at home.So they totally depend on the school for their work on the project. One student has a computer at home but none of them have accessibility to internet.As parents are not educated the work of preparing and presenting the data became difficult and they totally had to take guidance from the coachand other teachers at school.Yet all enjoyed the work.It was a joyful , educative and enriching experience for the team. They wish to participate in many such competitions in future and thank Think Quest for giving them this wonderful opportunity.
