SECME Summer Institute DAY TWO
Module: True Colors
Based on the dominant "color" of our personality, we formed breakout groups. The groups then created a game to play with wooden eggs and spoons. The object was NOT to actually play the game, but to observe the social interaction between members of the same "color." So, the Green team shared using a single presentor, who explained one time how to create a catapult from the spoon to launch the egg, and then see whose egg goes furthest (or hits closest to target). But the Gold team sent up two presentors, who explained several different options of games they had created. And the Blue team was a support group of four people who had tried a catapult similiar to the Green team, but had used the egg as the fulcrum so their whole launcher was unstable and unable to work, and one of their team members had laryngitis and was unable to talk but went up to present with others as a show of solidarity.
To recap: If this was Star Trek, Green would be Mr. Spock, Blue would be Dr. McCoy, and Gold would be Mr. Chekov. And Captain Kirk? He's all orange, baby!
