Talk Your Face Off! Enduro24 “Tiny Gappin’ It” Build Off
Updated: Mar 10, 2022
EXTENDED DEADLINE: Final videos must be posted to Instagram or YouTube by Sunday, March 27 11:59pm PDT (yes, Daylight Savings Time).
Who wants to try something a bit different? You do? Cool. The plan is to have a competition to see who can take an Element RC Enduro24 and make it into the fastest drag truck within a 90' x 12' area. You must film the entirety of your run by first verifying the speedometer is zeroed out before driving, then show the run, and end by showing the speed achieved all in one continuous clip. Your run must start and stop within the 90' distance and not veer outside the 12' width of the lane. Cones, tape, or other items can be used to show the width and length of the area. There is a bit of an honor system for the measurements, but you should have them visibly marked.
The goal is to have fun, but friendly competition can be fun too, right? So there are some rules to keep us from going to crazy with this build off.

LIVESTREAM WHERE WE DECIDED ON RULES:
Considering making online counselling easier to approach, I keep coming back to the difference between knowing about an idea and putting it into practice. Knowing how a first conversation works can reduce uncertainty about asking for support. It gives me a more concrete starting point for thinking about online counselling information. A short discussion of an everyday example would make this easier for me to connect with, especially as someone still learning about the subject. What practical information should be available before someone books an online session?
Thinking about applying business training to everyday work, I find the smaller practical questions more interesting than a quick conclusion. A useful training exercise should connect a new idea with a situation people actually encounter. That is the kind of detail I would keep in mind while exploring practical business training. I do not have a settled view yet, but this seems like a good place to slow down and look more closely. How would you check whether a workshop changes behaviour after it ends?
I can see why making personal safety education age appropriate would invite discussion, since different people will bring different experiences to the same question. Clear language about boundaries makes an awkward subject easier to discuss respectfully. It also gives the phrase personal safety education a clearer meaning than a label on its own. I am more curious about the process than a polished result, because the steps in between are usually where questions appear. How can lessons about personal safety remain understandable at different ages?
The subject of learning through imaginative preschool play feels more interesting when there is room for a reader to stop and ask their own questions. Inventing a story together gives children room to experiment with language and ideas. It gives me a more concrete starting point for thinking about imaginative preschool play. I can imagine different answers depending on the situation, so I would want to understand the context before drawing conclusions. How can adults support imaginative play without deciding every detail?
When it comes to developing practical technical skills in Chodziez, I would rather understand one useful detail properly than rush through a long list of ideas. A practical task often reveals gaps that a written exercise leaves unnoticed. For me, that is a useful way into the broader subject of technical education in Chodziez. The part I would like to explore further is what happens when the idea meets a real situation with its own limitations. How would you connect workshop practice with the theory taught in class?
