| Learning how facial recognition technology impacts us and Silicon Valley |
This fruitful day started with a class on technology, specifically focused on facial recognition. We realized technology could be used for good and for bad, depending on how we use or abuse it. We learnt that different stakeholders have differing opinions on this controversial topic. For example, the facial recognition could help Silicon Valley police catch criminals, but it could also be used by hackers to steal our identity and money. Through our debating session, we learnt that stakeholders should compromise and accept the pros and cons of facial recognition. This way, we could all achieve a harmonious society.

| Learning about hip-hop music and how to compose a song |
In the afternoon, we attended a class on how to tell stories using hip-hop. It was really eye-opening as we have never listened to this type of music before so we were really excited to be exposed to another culture. We tried to write our own songs and raps through hip-hop, which was really fun and this lesson provided us with an entirely new experience.
To finish off the day, we went to a baseball game — the SF Giants. We have never been to one, nor are interested in baseball, so this was a once in a lifetime opportunity for all of us. We got to experience the true american culture: being surrounded by people chanting, chatting and eating, all the while staring at the players on the field. It was really exciting to watch and definitely an unforgettable match for all of us.
