COL was amazing. Ever since I left my group, I started focusing and working on E waste very hard, and even thought it wasn't as informative as everyone else, mine was crisp, short and easy. I enjoyed making the project alone, without anyone's help, it showed my responsibility, independence and skills, especially since I just had a week to finish it (since I left my group on the first week itself). I made a great game, had a great time, didn't even have to use AI to do my work, made slogans, posters and even a huge game with the 5rs (Refuse, Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose, Reduce) and I had a load of visitors. Around 40 people from grade 7, I was CROWDED with 7th graders, and I got a few parents as well on the day of COL. I could have shortened my script a little bit, as I stuttered a lot in between. All in all, I had a lot of fun, great amount of work I had done, and I made it interactive, not boring the parents or 7th graders as much as the other stalls.

The COL journey was very fun. I and my group had a really good time on learning and puting our knowledge on our project witch was about Floods and sccatterd plot on deaths caused by floods in rural and urban where we took Austrialia was urban and Rural was India. I really liked helping others on there project too and I and one of my members helped another group in the project too and we learnt new things like Sendai FrameWork. I think in one way we could improve was that to add dance too as I think it's very unfair that there was drama and music but not dance. Other than that I like COL and I could like projects like this but I hope there is not another one like this since form the last 5 year we dont have founders and things like IDU are delaying it alot.

One thing good about IDU was getting to miss lessons and I loved learning about floods and the graphs and how the country improved after the technology.And what went well was how we still finished our work with half our group absent and I think what could have been better was we could have had one more person to help us because we had a lot of work.But finding graphs for the counties was really hard and we found it at the last day.

My journey throught the Col Was a complicated, There were my ups and downs,

I first had the idea of a website where you can track the earth quakes and find nearby shelter but I had to go to isso and I wasnt able to do the website and then created a sdg pledge board where parents can pledge to 1 of the 17 sgds and I made that proect with the help of the teachers as I only had 1 day to do all that so overrall im satisfied

I think that reflecting on COL and learning is a powerful way to acknowledge growth, progress, and achievements. It's an opportunity to slow down, honor, and acknowledge the efforts made, and to recognize the lessons learned along the way. What stuck with me is the exbition because it was very engaging and we taught a lot of people about various things and it felt really nice to share knowledge with each other. -

One thing that went well during COL was that i got to expand my knowledge on natural disasters which in my opinion is very important as natural disasters are bad for the environment. I also got time to spend with my peers which increased my teamworking skills.

One thing that could have gone better would be that we could have gotten more time to prepare for the IDU workshop as when we got to present to our parents and the 7th graders it wasn't that well, it would have been better if we had had more time to practice.

My COL journey was really fun and informative. I got to learn a lot of new things from the 2 subjects.

1 thing that really stuck with me was the fact that even though every living being shares the same planet each indivisual is impacted differently by the same disaster

Though 1 improvement which I believe would have helped my journey become better is, more time. If we would have had more than 2 weeks to finish our project we could have done more research and added more point of view to my project, which would have enhanced my project :)

I feel like my COL journey was quite fun and tough at the same time. Me and my group had to complete this project in one week. We really couldn't take out enough time for meetings, making posters etc. This experience helped me to develop my time-management skills. And getting to know about the correalation between I&S and Maths was very fasinating through the topic of natural hazards. The graphs and the history of the natural hazards helpd us to figure out problem and the solution in more depth as me and my group mates were focusing on the action part. Overall, my experience was really memorable as me and my friends spent more time with each other and got to interact with teachers and parents through the exhibition.

My COL presentation and journy has been great & it went well while presenting it too. There were also some challenges & conflicts we faced, but in the end we actually solved the problem that occured, when we were making our project. We were working perfectly, we had done all the research for our project and wse finished our project in time with the script, thisis the part which went well for me and my group. But the problem that occured was that we had made a 3D graph and it was looking really beautiful, but the teacher asked to see our data again and said the we were using is not right & some headings are wrong. So we had to chnage the whole thing. So, one thing we could improve was that we should always verify things with the teacher, so that there are no mistakes.

My experience of COL was filled with learning, new understanding of floods and a lot of knowledge on the ways that I&S as well as math contribute to my knowledge on the causes, response and implications of natural disasters. I enjoyed my COL project journey to the fullest and was very happy about how my trifold finally turned out. From finding data to creating charts to making out trifold layout to creating out training plan and research doc, the steps of the way were very interactive to all members of my group. However, two of my group members had gone to ISSO, which made their contributions less compared to ours. I also was glad to be in the music group as it introduced me to a new form of singing and helped me as I will need the knowledge I gained in the coming future.

My journey through COL was amazing! I had so much fun creating products and having fun with my friends at the same time. My project was about cyclones, where me and my partners talked about the certain places they occur in India, the economic losses caused by cyclones worldwide and a model of how a cyclone looks like. My group was the only one which did cyclones so that made our project unique. There were many ups and downs but me and my partners got through it and everything at the end was a success! The things that went wrong was during the last week until COL, where the math teacher with us told us that we had to redo our bar graph again as the whole thing was wrong. Me and my partners were devastated to hear the news and we were hopeless but with the help with our math teacher, we found a new data and we made the bar graph at home in just 1 day! The first bar graph took us 3 days as the base wasn't stable and its kept breaking apart and we were trying to make it look 3D. The good part about the process of my journey was making the model, the maps. and that so many parents kept coming to our stall. The model turned out excellent and really looked like a cyclone. Our I&S teacher allowed us to use two maps, one about where cyclones appear in India and every natural disasters location.

Project- Cloud Seeding

What went well- Cloud seeding is a very intriguing topic wherein I learnt about something very new and a topic which was not commonly discussed between us students. There was a lot to learn as this is a newly introduced technology, and a very advanced one as humans can now have the power to control rain (nature) itself. Other than learning new information, we also created posters, models and added a lot of information in our work. We had good amount of research, as we included everything while talking to the parents (of grade 8 students) and students (of grade 7) as we covered the advantages, disadvantages, affects an influence of cloud seeding in developed and developing countries.

What we could've done better- Even though while explaining we had a lot of information, we could've also explained the types of cloud seeding (hygroscopic, static and dynamic) to the people for a little more information. We could've talked about certain solutions to this problem of cloud seeding, rather than only car-pooling. As this is an interesting topic, we could've talked about solutions which are more innovative and newer.

I always enjoy the learning of interconnectedness of 2 or more subjects in a topic as we get to learn different perspectives for different subjects. This time also it was very interesting as we got to know about cloud-seeding in both maths and I&S point of views.

My journey through COL was incredible! I had a blast creating products while enjoying time with friends. My project focused on cyclones, where my partners and I discussed their occurrence in India, the economic impact of cyclones globally, and we even built a model to illustrate how a cyclone looks. Our group was unique since we were the only ones to choose cyclones as our topic. Despite facing challenges, we persevered, and in the end, everything turned out successfully!

One major setback occurred in the final week when our math teacher informed us that our bar graph was incorrect and needed to be redone. My partners and I felt devastated, but with our teacher's guidance, we found new data and created the bar graph at home in just one day! The first attempt had taken us three days because the base kept breaking as we tried to make it look 3D.

On a positive note, I loved making the model and the maps, and it was great to see so many parents visiting our stall. Our model looked fantastic and truly resembled a cyclone. Additionally, our I&S teacher allowed us to use two maps: one showing cyclone occurrences in India and the other illustrating locations of various natural disasters.
