The first class that we had today was legal studies. We had prepared for it for several hours and were all very excited for it. When we got there we were briefed on legal studies by our teacher. It included the procedures for a trial, and we then had a mock trial based on the case that we were given beforehand. The trial  was very intense as both the plaintiffs and the defense took their roles very seriously. We learnt a lot of things, including what people do during a real trial and the numerous procedures that they had to follow. We also learnt a lot about critical thinking and sone of the skills needed to answer questions asked by the opposing team. We had a great time and it was great as we could have a chance to realise what our interests are.




For the second lesson, we had artificial intelligence. First oir teacher introduced us to artificial intelligence, telling us how it can benefit us and its limits. Then we learnt to create a chatbox. The chatbox allows us to have a chat with the computer, for example asking simple questions. We can also programme the answer to the questions. It was really fun and enjoyable. After dinner, we had our global project meeting. We continued discussing on our island, each group finished their design of their flags. Also we divided into small groups to discuss on our specific topics, such as economy, politics, human rights and many more. Each group made great progress on their projects and will continue working on it in the mext meeting.

July 13th Melanie Ip Janet Lee Dorothy Ma Christine Lum   We attended a visual design class with Bill Scott and together created a get well soon card for our friend. Rather than copying the pictures directly from the internet, we were encouraged to be imaginative. We modified our original drawings of animals and stuck it onto the card. Furthermore, we were instructed to use pen instead of pencils. We learnt that making mistakes is a part of life and we should not be intimidated by this fact. After, we played a game where we rearranged letters, from an original word and made different words from it, sone in different languages. We also had neuroscience after that and we learnt more about that subject as most of us didnt have any idea of what it is. We also learnt many interesting topics regarding neuroscience and we were all intrigued. After classes we prepared for multicultural night. The event was really fun as we got to learn about the cultures and history of a few diff...

July 16th Melanie Ip Greta Lam Janet Lee Christine Lum Dorothy Ma We went on a field trip to San Francisco Bay Area where we spent most of our day. First we took a 2 hour bus tour around the city. During the tour we got to see the whole city of San Francisco and listened to the brief history of the city told by the tour guide. The Golden Gate Bridge was also a highlight of the bus tour. The wind was exceptionally strong and we can rarely experience it anywhere else. We also took a few photos before we continued our trip. We also had two hours of free time after the bus tour, so that we could walk around Fisherman's Wharf. We had a great lunch of seafood, soup and bread and it was delicious. There was also a large number of shops in the Fisherman's Wharf. Since we had some time left we shopped around and bought some souvenirs. Another great thing that we had the chance to see sea lions. We rarely see them in hk except in ocean park and it was a great exoerience for us...

Today is such a special Wednesday! We had a field trip with packed activities. In the morning, we played iFly, a memorable experience with professional instruct. After that, we even learned some physics principles to give a detailed explanation of our flight. We really took a lot from such exciting and unforgettable activity which we could never have back in Hong Kong! After lunch, we had a talk on the administration of Standford University and we learned about the detailed information for application of the university. The Stanford University is such a beautiful place, we really hope that we can continue our study there. In the evening, we had a bonfire. The sunset was magical, we had loads and loads of pictures there. It has been a pity that we did not get ourselves some smores, but it was surely a precious experience to enjoy the view and the weather!
