This last week at Help Desk, we conducted our very own Shark Tank. All members of Northgate Help Desk presented our ideas for ILE's to a panel of Sharks. These Sharks consisted of teachers and staff from around the school. Setting up the TankThe set up for this event began many weeks before where myself and a fellow Help Desk member, Jonathan Burmenko, began by brainstorming ideas for how to set up the room. Initially we though to have the contestants come in from the front door through a tunnel and come out to face the sharks. Later though we decided, after some suggestions from Mr. Tobin, that it would be best to use his upstairs office as a waiting room and have the contestants come down the stairs though a tunnel and to the open presenting area. I then talked to Ms. Moore, the art teacher, about getting some curtains and large boards to cover the computers and make the hallway. The projection of the shark tank logo was suggested as well by a couple other members of Help Desk and so we set it up on the side of the tunnel. Diving into the ArenaOn the first day of the Shark Tank was filled with many differing ideas, from giving internet to low income housing, to designing a new coding web-game, to setting up a Northgate Ted talk event. I went last on the first day and presented my idea for a new Northgate website. I walked into the presenting area and displayed my idea for the new website. Once the short presentation ended I was barraged with questions from all the sharks. By the end of it i had told them every part of how the school would have a new website. It was a great experience and it made sure that I knew every part of my idea inside and out. It also helped my figure out parts of my project that I wouldn't have thought of without the Sharks questions.
