Our Spentrep activities last September 16, 2013

Makati City, PHL  |  September 20, 2013

Some of the Spentrep students commented (like Ana) commented that we had fun last Monday.

We had the following activities:

1.  Group creative activity -  1 and 2;  preparation of menu and the prototyping;  coming out with two dishes.  Ana, who said she loved cooking, was  the judge but begged on judging her own group, Group 4.  I had two main ingredients:   strawberry and  red bell pepper, and the groups would try to outdo one another in their presentation.  While it was close fight, group 3 who admitted they did not have prior plan was behind.

Some of the lessons learned:

     1.  Ana said even though she had much experience in cooking, learned a lot on food preparation and presentation.

     2.  Vicky said that same ingredients can be made in an infinite number of ways into final dish.  Same with us  -  we are same human beings but we come out in variety of personalities and achievement.

     3.  This is a real practice on creativity.  Those who have not cooked (especially the men) would not consider cooking/food preparation as a worthwhile activities.

I thank everybody for their cooperation and enthusiasm in joining/executing this activity


2.  Mind mapping.  The 4 groups, using crayons and colored markers mind mapped the four concepts/ideas:  innovation, creation, invention and entrepreneurship.  Mind mapping is a tool for brain storming or gathering concepts together, or organizing thoughts that was started by Tony Buzan.  What caught my attention was the presentation on invention.  It captured all the ideas that I know on invention.

The entrepreneurship group also quite captured what the subject/course is all about, and there may be no further need to have the course hahaha(but of course there is still a lot to be learned. like preparing the business plan.

3.  Inspirational video.  We had two presentations: that of Jaime and Kristine.  They were well done.  I can see in Kristine an evolution from a shy young girl to one who has guts determination and savvy now.  (made)   And Jaime, ever since he was young and small, looked like a guy who wants to be different a maverick (I hope I got it right from the videos)

I hope Albert links this site to his celeb chizmiz blog.

He has pictures of the event and I hope he has posted these.
