Day 2 of the Life Science Camp.
Today, the game played is going to be "Gene's Hunt". The groups were to collect genes from game stations, and the objective was to get the most genes. In order to get a chance of earning genes, a group must compete in a specific challenge with another group at one station. If the group wins, they get the clue to the next station. Then, a question will be asked, and if the group can get the answer correctly, they get to choose one of four genes available at each station. I was at the station at Hall 2 with a friend.
The first session was a bit more disorganized because of a group number fiasco. It's a rather complicated problem, but it was resolved anyway. The winning group found 5 genes.
During our break, the Game Marshals visited the "crime scene" in one of the classrooms in Campus 1. This "crime scene" was part of the students' laboratory work. The students had to gather evidence, like strands of hair or samples of blood. Then they had to bring it into the laboratory where they will test for the DNA. The story's fake; the main purpose was the laboratory work.
The scene was not very scary for me. It was a dark room with candles lit here and there. A few high heel shoes were found at the door. On the right the mark of one of the victims was visible (you know, like those white lines indicating the position of the victim in murder scenes), and on the left was a table with the words "YOU'LL PAY" written in "blood". Move further into the room, and you'll hit a "bed" with the other victim..."dead" and lying face down. The unfortunate victim was acted by a girl I do not know. The funny thing was, a Biology book was also found at the crime scene.
For the second session, I was alone because my friend went to help out at another station. I found that with me doing it, it felt smoother. But one of the groups was stuck at my station because of some problems with the group which left the previous station. Nevertheless, it was no doubt the more successful session; four groups found 6 genes each.
Strangely, it's always the second session which is the more successful one...
