Every year, our school celebrates Pi Day by organizing various interactive activities related to math and physics. This year my friends and I decided to set up a stall where we demonstrated and explained four physics simulators to students and teachers. The goal was to make physics concepts more engaging and accessible through visual and interactive simulations. We carefully selected simulations that were both educational and fun, ensuring that they sparked curiosity among the viewers.

LO3 – Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience.

This activity connects well with the third learning outcome (LO3) because it required us to take initiative and plan an engaging experience for our school community. From selecting the right physics simulators to organizing the flow of explanations, we had to ensure that our stall was both informative and interactive. We divided responsibilities among our group members, prepared explanations in advance and even rehearsed how we would present the simulations to different audiences. This planning process helped us develop organizational and leadership skills, as we had to think critically about how to make the concepts interesting and understandable for everyone.

LO5 – Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively.

The fifth learning outcome (LO5) was demonstrated through our teamwork in setting up and running the stall. Each member of our group contributed their strengths some focused on explaining the simulations, while others managed the flow of participants and ensured smooth transitions between demonstrations. Working together allowed us to support each other, clarify doubts when needed and create an engaging learning experience for visitors. Through this collaboration I realized how important effective communication and coordination are when working on a shared project. This experience reinforced my ability to work in a team and taught me how different perspectives can contribute to a more enriching learning experience.

Overall, organizing this stall for Pi Day was an exciting and fulfilling experience. It allowed me to apply my knowledge of physics in a creative way but also strengthened my planning, teamwork and communication skills.
