Saia & Gabriel Silicon Valley Trip

Today we had some special visitors come to our school. Saia & Gabriel from Tamaki College, came to Team 5 to share their experience about their trip to Silicon Valley. Saia & Gabriel came to Pt England school a few weeks back, to share & tell us that they were about to go to this amazing trip with some other amazing staff and also other students from different schools. They shared and showed some footage about they trip to Silicon Valley. Gabriel & Saia went to Silicon Valley with Mr Andrew Patterson and their amazing Tamaki College teacher, Mr Jason Sharma. Here are some of the amazing company's that they attended on their cool trip. Gabriel & Saia told us about Stanford University, Google, Yelp, Microsoft, Twitter, Apple, Ideo & Khan Academy. The most interesting company or more like a university to me will have to be, Stanford University. Stanford University stood out more to me because when I grow up I really want to try and make it to Stanford University because they say that it is the best university in the world. Stanford University also stood out for me because they said that anything is possible and so if those people can make it to Stanford then maybe some kids like us here at New Zealand can also make it and try to reach for our dreams there at Stanford University. The Second thing that stood out for me will have to be Khan Academy & Ideo. Khan Academy for have to be my 2nd favourite because I really love learning more about maths and different type of things and Khan Academy really helps alot. Also Ideo because I have never heard of Ideo, so it would be really nice to discover and research more about Ideo and all the other places that they shared to us this morning. I think my favourite part of them coming was telling us to just follow your dreams and just be confident because you never know what will happen to you in the future. Our teachers and staff are all right about the korero's that we do, because they are always right 'You never know when someone's watching. Thank You to Saia and Gabriel for being such an inspiration to other kids here at Pt England !! Image result for stanford universityImage result for googleImage result for khan academy
