The day started
afresh with a class on visual designing, in other words, art. Sketches of basic
shapes (cubes, cylinders, spheres, etc.) were made, shading was implemented and
the formation of a narrative on paper was formed, allowing us to tell a story with
pictures. Although some of us were not as artistically gifted as certain
others, it was safe to say that we had 2 hours of new and innovating ideas.
A 30-minute drive
after lunch later, we found ourselves before the renowned Computer Science
Museum, where ideas came alive. There were over 20 fascinating exhibits on the
history of the development of computer technology, including that of
calculators, punch cards and analogue and digital computers. Apart from
learning about the history of technological development, we also immersed
ourselves in the sheer complexity of the machines designed by what we can only
describe as geniuses. It truly astounds us how utterly brilliant these
scientific pioneers’ brains were, or are.
Next stop was the
billboard of Face book. We took a group photo, committing the moment to memory.
Even though it was totally different from what we expected, we were still
stunned by the enormous scale of Face book. After all, one must want to forever
remember such a prestigious moment of their lives; it is only natural.
After dinner and a
break, we set off to the Fire Pit where we enjoyed the gooey texture of the
s’mores, consisting of two crackers sandwiching a warm, melted marshmallow.
They were a real treat for us since such food items were not something we were
accustomed to. Many photographs were also taken to mark this special moment in
history.
