EXCO Meeting: Keep the Secret :)

After a long hiatus, we decided to call for our first EXCO meeting in the holidays! While we are not going to leak out the content for the sake of self-discovery for the others, the leaders are satisfied with the outcome of the session. We are happy that everyone took away some learning (even for ourselves) through this activity. We should have attended the leader's workshop earlier on and conducted this session earlier. Look forward to seeing you guys again real soon!





On a bonus note, we crashed progs internal trial for awhile and we are quite impressed with the activities! Look forward to them for the 2D1N next week, Cheway peeps!

Hello everyone!

We went to distribute flyers at Clementi and Woodlands yesterday for our upcoming recyclables collection event (LAST FUNDRAISING EVENT WOOHOO)!!! If you happen to stay around the area, please support us by bringing old newspapers, clothes, cans and plastic bottles, and approach any Cheway member (wearing Chemical engineering shirt) at any of the blocks stated in the flyers below:)

The flyer distribution event was a bonding session for us. The members at Woodlands ended their distribution with a lunch (they managed to finish giving out their flyers before lunch! Very efficient!) while members at Clementi bonded over morning breakfast :D and a chitchat session after getting koi. I would really like to thank everyone who made time to come for the flyer distribution yesterday! Here's a few shots from the Clementi area.

Lastly, I would like to thank the backstage crew, my Fundraising team for all your help, especially Jocelyn!!!

Missing Sandy and Zhi Wei:(

That's all for now!

Cheway Team Meeting 5!

It was our 5th team meeting last Friday! Still remember our first team meeting at Nando's and our final group photo at the fountain (and we were all worried that the water would spurt out and drench us any moment)? Yeap, we've come a long way from there(: This 5th meeting also marks our first meeting after finals! So many things will be coming together this holiday, external fundraising, our pre-local cip, and our ocip! BE EXCITED AND LOOK FORWARD TO ALL THAT IS TO COME (:

Anyways, back to the meeting... we started off with a birthday surprise for our super on-task Secretary, Wan Yi!(: She is always prompt with her minutes and gets all the admin stuff collated by the deadlines. THANK YOU WAN YI!(: 

After which, we had team building games (as usual with every meeting)! But this time, we had Pei Ying, Ashvin and Frankie leading the games. The games were really fun and geeky (the charades one) but I am sure everyone enjoyed themselves fully during the games (even though some of the guys may have lost their voice from shouting the answers :/ ). So, a big thank you to the organizers for the awesome games(:

Now to the more serious stuff, we had our logs&pub leaders, Zhi Kang and Yi Xuan to showcase our Project shirt designs and of course for a (pretty long) round of voting to choose our favourite designs and colours. And then the external fundraising leaders, Jing Zhen and Jocelyn, gave a detailed briefing for the external fundraising arrangements!(: This is our last fundraising event, so team, LETS DO THIS WELL(: (More funds = more cost saved for the trip!) Not to forget, enjoy yourselves and the company of friends while you're at it!(: To end off the meeting, the team discussed on R&R plans and each sub-comm was tasked to plan for the team R&R activities for different 4-hour time slots!

Here are some photos!

GROUP PHOTOOOOO!(:

Before I end this post, just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to each and everyone of you who are part of Project Cheway! 2015. It has been 7 months since the team had been formed, and we have indeed come a long way from not even being sure of where our project location was to finalizing things for all our different sub-comms. 

I really hope that all of you have enjoyed the journey thus far, and WE PROMISE (I know Jason and Gordon will be with me for this(: ) we will do our very very best to make this an experience to remember for all of you(: After going through the first half of our leadership course over the last weekend, we have gained so many insights and we've reflected a lot on what a YEP project really is and what a YEP leader has to do. But that shall be saved for sharing during 2D1N!(: We have so much that we want to tell all of you, so much that we hope to deliver for you guys at the end of this project(: 

SO STAY EXCITED AND KEEP THAT PASSION FOR CHEWAY GOING(:  

Experiment Updates

As promised, we will regularly update this space as we move closer to our Pre-CIP.

After months of hard work and countless prototypes, the experiment team has finally succeeded in developing a mobile toy car using recycled material.

Presenting Team CHEWAY!'s balloon-powered toy-car

Well, it might not look much, but is a short clip of it in action!

We hope that the children can be exposed to simple Physics through this toy car making session, and most importantly find this activity interesting and enjoy the toy car making process.

That's all for now. Cheers!

Pre-CIP site recce and briefing

Hello!

Team CHEWAY! is finally back into action after our finals...

In preparation towards our local CIP, the team attended a briefing conducted by our partner, Ang Mo Kio Family Service Centre (FSC). The pre-CIP aims to prepare the members towards our trip to Tacloban, by conducting our educational and interactive activities for the FSC. In addition, we hope to enhance the social interaction between the children in the family centre through our activities.

We will be conducting a 2-days programme for 2 branches of the FSC, Cheng San and Seng Kang. The team will be divided into 2 smaller teams in order to conduct the programme.

The briefing has allowed the team to gather valuable insights to the demographic of the children in the centres, and the advice given by the staffs were helpful in guiding us to manage the children better. The briefing was followed by a site recce, to aid us in planning of the programme.

Overall, we have gathered useful information during the briefing and recce. The next 2 months leading up to our trip will be a tedious period, but I am sure the whole team will stay together and make Project CHEWAY! a successful and meaningful one.

We will be posting our Project updates regularly, so do check this space out!

Signing off for now!
