The Science Geeks Video Competition is a Competition with 2 categories of Secondary and Primary, allocated to the school levels. It allows kids to express their ideas about the chosen topic and what they enjoy within it. This years topic was change.
My Groups project
My groups project based on the topic of change was about the evolution of a hammerheads sharks head. The group that I worked with during this period consists of Alexander Brustur, Daniel Haynes, Kevin Tang, as well as myself. During the time period we decided to create a 2 minute long animated video with the title called: Why does the Hammerhead Shark have a hammerhead?
The video is to be marked by this assessment criteria if entered

Group Organization
In our group we split up the video like this: Kevin – Research, Alex – Editing, Daniel – Animating, Deklyn – Script writing.
Throughout the project we had little to no disagreements, and we used the time as effectively as we could. By Allocating certain time limits for certain sections of the video creation process.
