ADSF Day 1

ADSF – Day 1

Location: Cornish

1:30pm – 6:30pm

In the first place, we arrived at the ADSF Cornish offsite wearing our science communicator’s coat and HCT badge on, then off to the signing in place. I was so excited to start the day with and amazing volunteering experience abroad at the ADSF event. Further more, at the workshop “Rocket Rail” we were arranging the tables and preparing the site for the children who were about 4-11 years old. Every student of us had a shift schedule that changes every 30 min and a break of 30 min. the shifts were either at the desk or greeting area or helping the kids or being at the racing site. The kids had to build their own rocket and then try to test how fast the rocket could go, applying newton’s second law “for every action there is a reaction”.

Besides all if this crowd and helping here and there, I had a free time to explore such an adorable and beautiful young lady called “Marry” she was about 2 years old but left joy and lasting impression on me. In the end, I ended up my day with a lunch break at 5:30 to 6:00 pm with my colleague “Nora”. It was a quite tiring but wonderful and amazing well spent day.
