31.10. Happy Halloween!

Trick or treat! 
Tonight we decided to leave studying for a moment, and celebrate a little. We went to one of our team members home, Krista's place, and carved some pumpkins, ate some apple pie (made by Kristina) and shared some laughs about life in general. Can you recognise some characters from our group picture? 

 Carving pumpkins can get a little messy, but the results were great! One pumpkin was a little stinkier, so we carved it outside to ease the pain. The finished Jack-o-lanterns have a alien/space-theme, and one has our logo on it! 

Timo played a little guitar for us, and here's also a close-up of Mariia's costume, how cool is that! Our group wen't artistic with all our costumes, even the finnish people (Halloween is not very Finnish); Sonja, Jesse, Timo, and Krista!


                             


                         







Here is also a picture of a little party-crasher, Maul, with the Jack-o-lanterns!
We're all hoping everyone's Halloween is more treats than tricks,

Yours truly,

28.10. Lesson and presentations

Good morning! Yesterday (28.10) was a long day, we stayed and studied till half past 9 o'clock PM.

First we learned about information searching, Janne Hietala from Arcusys was kind enough to come and educate us. The information about searching for information was new for most of us, and super helpful for the future. Thanks!

This was also the first time we met after publishing our first drafts of our Mars-presentations, so we talked about them, and asked more questions from each other.

Now we begin working on our presentations again, making them (hopefully) better. Everything is possible after a good night's sleep!

21.10. Work hard, play hard?

Hey!

We and the other Epic Challenge team, "The Red Sandbox" went and watched the movie The Martian yesterday!

Afterwards we talked a little about the differences of the movie and NASAs real Mars plans. We sure hope they're not sending Matt Damon there, he seems to get into a lot of trouble in space.

But we enjoyed the movie and suggest You go see it as well!


PS. About our current workflow, we are individually studying different Mars-themes, which we will then (at the end of the month) teach to each other!

7.10. Start of something new

October is here! Whether you are taking part of inctober, spooktober, or just attending your lives as usual, you can also follow the start of our actual epic challenge now!

That's right, we're getting down to business, the real deal, finding out ways to grow food on the red planet.

We're going to work as teachers to one another, and getting ourselves acquainted with Mars.
Also, our Facebook-page is coming, so stay tuned for that (though it's long overdue, better late than never!)

Also feel free to comment, give feedback, what things you'd like to know about us or about our work?
