A CENTRAL MONTCO TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
SUMMARY
As newcomers to our high school community, one of our first exciting missions is to get to know one another. Our school program encourages us to team up and tackle various projects together. Learning how to communicate and collaborate effectively is super important, and this project offers a fun and interactive way to not only discover more about our classmates but also to develop skills that will help us work together on future projects.
​
In the professional world, being able to share ideas clearly with others, like clients or coworkers, is a crucial skill. Some of us might already feel comfortable working with others and expressing ourselves, while others might feel a bit shy or unsure and that's totally okay! This assignment has a twofold purpose: it introduces you to your fellow classmates, making new friends along the way, and it kickstarts your journey toward becoming a confident presenter and communicator.
​
Now, here's the cool part of this project: you'll be organizing your thoughts and ideas in a creative way. You'll create a video where you have a friendly chat with another student in the program. Don't worry, we'll give you some interesting questions to ask during the video interview. This exercise is like a practice round for talking clearly and sharing what you've learned in a cool presentation style. So, get ready to show off your skills and have some fun!
