psychological problems and the methods psychologists use to help their patients?
As we would like to learn more about psychologists, we participated in the S3 board
display competition. We discussed and gathered the information from a wide variety
of sources and created brilliant work which could be lit up, and eventually we won
the competition. Although we were frustrated by the disagreements and uncertainty
about the material we used, we overcame the difficulties and learnt about the
importance of group cooperation. We had a better understanding of mental illnesses
and psychologists’ duties. In short, we benefited a lot from the competition.

During the activity, there was division of labor and cooperation. We all had
different jobs, such as giving speeches, finding materials and making boards. Through
the activity, we understood the importance of cooperation among
team members, because everyone had the responsibility to
give their opinions, communicate with each team member
and avoid disputes so that the activities could be carried
out smoothly. We enhanced our communication skills as it
was a team activity. Meanwhile, we increased our creativity
and enlarged our knowledge in STEM. Through giving
the speech, we also strengthened our courage through the
presentation.
