My Current CCA

Once again, hi! After having spent 3 weeks on CCA trials, and having opted for the CCAs I want, I got the results of the CCA posting last thursday. I am glad that I was posted to the Hwa Chong Robotics Club, as I had been in Robotics Club since my primary school days. The only CCAs I was interested in, was the Robotics Club, the EC3 Club and the Media Tech Club. I would go through them briefly for you readers.

The Robotics Club, which I was most interested in, is obviously about robots. In the Robotics Club, we build robots, program it etc. We are introduced to NXT, a kind of robot made by Lego. It involves some lego parts (Of course!) and those parts where you find in bionicles. You can also program the NXT to do certain work for you. In the Robotics Club trials, we had to build certain things which they asked us to build, and we were also tested on our Programming logic.

The EC3 Club, which is a club for IT, is a very sophiscated club. It is most probably about photo editting, designing websites, programming things etc. Why would I know that? It is because when I participated in the EC3 Club trials, we were giving a test and a few challenges that required us to have prior knowledge of IT, and we had to duplicate the google homepage, produce pictures based on certain topics etc.

The Media Tech Club should be the most complicated club. I think so because in the Media Tech Club trials, we had to present photos that we took ourselves and were given interviews about our knowledge in photography, videography etc. And other than that, we were also briefed that being in the Media Tech Club requires us to operate the auditorium etc.

If you were to ask me about my first Robotics session, I would admit to you that it was plain "slacking". We merely took a simple test about our programming skills for us to be grouped, and other than that we were introducing ourselves to the other levels in the Robotics Club, and they also introduced themselves to us. Everything was great, except for the fact that I forgot to take my pen and correction tape home after that session, and I will have to wait till the next session for me to retrieve my stationery. And, once again, good bye.
