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:
Thinking about understanding materials and practical workshop tasks, I find the smaller practical questions more interesting than a quick conclusion. Knowing what a component needs to do can make choosing a material easier to discuss. That practical perspective helps me frame practical technical skills as a theme for Jualpipapvc. The smaller details are what I would want to return to, especially when an explanation feels too broad. Which questions should come before comparing different technical options?
A discussion of communicating ideas to the right audience seems more useful when it connects an idea with something easy to picture. A clear explanation of a practical benefit can be more useful than a string of enthusiastic claims. The name Blueskiesmktg gives this theme a memorable reference point, while digital marketing ideas keeps the subject in focus. I would be interested in an example that shows how the idea works in an ordinary situation. What would make a short message feel relevant rather than intrusive?
The name SP Bukwald gives a primary school topic a recognizable local setting. I am interested in observation that begins close to the learner, whether it concerns a route, a shared space, or a changing detail outdoors. That is what I connect with SP Bukwald local observation. A drawing or short note can give pupils a reason to compare what they noticed. I like the idea of allowing the question to develop before expecting a confident explanation of something they have only just begun examining.
SP18 Zabrze suggests a numbered primary school identity connected to Zabrze. I would be interested in the practical information a family needs before it can understand the everyday experience behind that name. That is how I think about SP18 Zabrze primary school information. Clear expectations and understandable messages can make school life easier to follow. I like information that anticipates ordinary questions instead of assuming every reader already knows the routines or the meaning of an internal school label.
The combination of School and ML suggests an educational angle on machine learning. I am most interested in examples that make the connection between data and a result understandable without hiding the limitations. That is what I associate with School ML machine learning. A demonstration can invite questions about what the model has learned and what the example does not show. I like explanations that leave room for those questions, because a neat result should not be mistaken for a complete account of how the tool works.
