01  Competition Review

Financing Pitch:

Financing Pitch one: In the first financing pitch, students needed to jointly create a company culture, design a product, conduct market research, and develop a marketing plan. Upon receiving the task, the team members immediately divided the work and prepared their speeches and PowerPoint presentation overnight. Team members in different roles took the stage to present their respective parts, performing at their best level after extensive practice! Their creativity and execution impressed the judges.

Financing Pitch two and Holiday Tourism Expo:

Students were required to set up booths around a holiday theme, attract customers, and promote innovative solutions. The team discussed the theme in advance, purchased decorations such as banners, plush toys, and snacks, and Nora Wan from Class G1 of Yinghua hand-drew a beautiful poster, showcasing her exceptional hands-on skills. Layla Yang of Class G2, Dina Xuan of Class G1, and Jeremy Lin of Class AS took on the role of explainers. They elaborated on the team's solutions in detail to the teachers, students and other visitors, helping the team secure a large number of votes!

Financing Pitch three:

In this round, students needed to collaborate with other company teams to present a joint solution for mutual benefit. Jeremy Lin, Sarah Huang of Class F5, and Dina Xuan represented the team, communicating and collaborating with other teams repeatedly, ultimately delivering an impressive joint presentation.Despite the challenges encountered during the preparation process, the team pulled together and eventually won the recognition of the judges!

Trading Competition:

The trading competition was one of the most challenging parts of the event. Students needed to trade resources with teams from the same planet and different planets to obtain more planet fragments, ultimately piecing together a cosmic puzzle. This round tested the team's decision-making and communication skills. Thomas Wang of Class F4 and Laya Yang, as the main players, actively sought trading partners, flexibly adjusted strategies, and ultimately led the team to complete one large puzzle and two small puzzles, demonstrating excellent negotiation skills and team spirit!

Operational Decision-Making:

This round was one of the core parts of the competition. Students needed to make critical decisions on product pricing, production quantity, number of workers, loan amounts, and market investments within a limited time. Thomas Wang and Xana Zhang of Class G1 led this round, showcasing meticulous thinking and strong computational skills. After each round of decisions, they carefully reviewed and summarized their experiences to ensure the team maintained a competitive edge. After seven rounds of operations, their seamless coordination and calm decision-making helped the team secure valuable market share!
