One of the two things that IB taught me was teamwork. In a team we could generate more ideas hence we will have more ideas to choose from, example, our team at had many ideas like preventing the loss of ez-link card but in the end we chose portable solar charger. Also we would have different perspective/opinions on an idea or product thus we can tackle the problem and come up with multiple solutions, example, why did we choose portable solar charger it’s to save electricity and to charge their phone more conveniently. Communication in a team is important as we assign a job to each of us, in this way we could complete our work faster and be fair to one another instead of someone doing most of the work and another guy doing the least work.
Creativity is another thing that IB taught me. Example we must come up with a concept that could convince customers why they should buy our product which is the portable solar charger instead of a normal portable charger, although the solar charger might be a little a bit more expensive than a normal charger but it can save electricity, we also add extra features like a built-in thumb drive, extended warranty, free casing to promote our product. We also made our solar panel foldable so that it can be easier to carry in a small bag hence customer will be more convinced to buy our product with so many extra features even though it a little more expensive than the normal charger.
IB also has taught me a few transferable skill that I could apply it in my life/work in the future like problem solving, time management and responsibility. Time management, it is very important because I have to manage my study time and play time but when exam is near I will have to increase my study time so that I could achieve the best possible result. Also I have to plan my time to sleep early so that I could be school early and not late as I could have miss out an important notes for exam.
