*Mount Washington*

Hey It's Niecy B. here to tell you guys about the bioneers trip to Mount Washington. The trip to Mount Washington was such a great experience. My original thoughts were that we were just going out there to screenprint and play a couple games i didn't think that i'd get anything out of, but when i left i had. I learned alot about presenting, and i became more confident with my communication skills, and with talking in front of and to others.

We got off to such a great start we began with the Name Game, which broke the ice, and helped us to get to know eachother in a fun and exciting way which everybody seemed to enjoy. We even threw in some of the things that we the bioneers do in our own program like the incentive points. The incentive points made the kids more excited and interested in participating in the stuff that we had planned for them. We also gave them a point goal for the day ( 50 points) and if they reached that goal by the end of our session they would receive a treat. After we played the Name Game we talked alot about the Bioneers Conference, like what is was, and the kinds of things it dealt with, then we incorporated that into a Q & A game where we passed out cards with the answers to the questions on them and kept the cards with the question. A few of us (the Bioneers) asked the questions then the person who had the card with the answer on it would say the answer, and they would get a point for it, Which would go towards there point goal for the day.

After Lunch we did screenprinting with the kids, we let them choose the color shirts, designs and paint they wanted, then we got started they sat down next to us and let us know everything that they wanted to be done, and while they did that we explained to them how to do it while we did it. They enjoyed the experience, and their shirts!

To end our session we played a game of Sca Taboo, the kids reached there goal for there points and got their snack. Overall it was a great day and great experience and i wouldn't mind going back.
