1. I had observed from the range of events that the BITIG provides many opportunities for BIT students to participate, develop themselves and build their portfolio. However, the participation rate for each event is usually low and the participants are mainly the main committee of BITIG. I have also observed that SMU focuses a lot on the development of their students and they have various collaborations with companies in the same area of expertise.

2. I feel our main committee should focus on reaching out to more companies with same area of expertise to better equip our BIT fellow peers with more real life working experiences. This will help to better value-add our BIT community and help them to develop a strong portfolio for their future endeavors.

3. The meeting was great :)

Observation: There are a wide variety of activities available but there is a low participation rate

Suggestion: Try to encourage them through different ways and platforms

Observation:
- SMU had this chinese new year reunion thing that bonds the students together through a bowl of hotpot. it is an interesting idea.

- BSG also had high participation rate for their camp they had organised.

- BIT instagram needs more colourful pictures as it's very pleasing to view (as viewed from SMU's)

Suggestion:
- Promote BIT instagram to increase follower count and encourage participation through incentives like SEAL points... etc

# data[].attributes.body
Observation: I have observed that the Instagram page is updated frequently and it keeps followers up to date on events. However, there should be more publicity made for events and it should be made way before the event / when the event is nearing as a reminder. (And the events could be publicized offline. For example, through posters put around level 5 labs.)

Suggestion:  For events, I suggest more fun bonding activities. Looking at SMU’s page, they hosted a free flow soft serve day;  I feel that BITIG can hold an event for the welfare of students. (They also have CNY celebrations!)

Observations- BIT held Sports Day, participated in APSN workshops, competitions related to our course, subcommittee workshop, Willing Hearts Volunteering Event, OCBC FRANK Workshop and many more.
Suggestions- Social activities for the students to relax after the exams and submissions, selling roses and chocolates for Valentine's Day and holiday celebration as a diploma

I have attended the OCBC Frank workshop. It was a great and fun experiences. I have learnt something new throughout the workshop.

Observations:
Students arent very engaged in workshops, especially during long talks.

Suggestions:
Maybe we could provide, a short-session with activities being involved along the way.

Observation: I have observed the various Instagram pages that the freshmen students aren’t very supportive of the events held by the BIT Interest Group, as compared to NUS and SMU interest groups.

Suggestion: The main-committee can come together and brainstorm on ideas to entice and perk freshmen to join the events planned by BITIG, and we could also educate the students to actively participate in activities which is beneficial for them as current employees do not only look out for academic achievements but as well as non-academic areas in employees. The voluntary events held will give students more exposure to the current affairs and also an opportunity to give back to the community.

Observations: Not a lot of competition and bonding sessions for freshman.
Suggestions: More camps and longer sessions. Camp with cool theme

# data[].attributes.body
observation: events like digital business innovation seems applicable to current trend

suggestion: More events regarding tech

Observation: Freshies are simply disinterested with the events held by BITIG, even though many events are lined up for them.
Suggestion: Make the events more attractive so that they would be willing to come. Publicize better. Connect with them better not just through social media, but in school as well. Freshies can be our friends as well heh. Come up with ideas that will be beneficial to the students. Events during the holidays should be avoided. Some of the events in SMU include providing snacks/goodies for students during their midterms/projects to release some stress and enjoy some savoury treats. BIT could do that as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Observation: I have observe that there are very less people who will participate in the events planned.
Suggestion: We should make sure that everyone gets involve.

# data[].attributes.body
observation: Not many is following BIT insta. Hence unaware about the activities & unable to convey the events and activities to them.

Suggestion: Encourage year 1 & following batches to follow the BIT page.

Observation - BIT orientation is kinda boring and the date is alittle bit late

Suggestion - have like a short camp or trying out different activities ( picnic or sport competitions )to allow the class to bond closer during the start of their freshman year

Observation- The range of events organized by most JCs and some Universities are made compulsory. Some activities include Class Cheering competition and Cross country.

For BIT, we have a range of activities like sports day, orientation camp, APSN, Willing Hearts, OCBC Frank. Most of them which had a high percentage were most held after school

Suggestion-

Due to the low participation seen from the past few activities, I suggest to have it made compulsory, held after lessons. By having class related activities, the class will get to bond and work better together.
