- Ivanyi - Gauntlet 2019, The Gauntlet: Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Gauntlet: Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones Scavenger Hunt, Squid Game 6th grade level event
- For the Indiana Jones Gauntlets, the kids would be dropped into immersive challenges taken from the movie which were slightly modified to fit our event combined with Latin prompts such as a 10-foot beach ball, our boulder, falling on the kids if they didn’t solve the Latin challenge
- The Squid Game event had simple children’s games such as Red Light Green Light taken straight from the show onto our gym floor
- I was heavily involved in many of the logistics of these events, I calculated values such as the number of pizzas, kids, and timings of each group
- I often pointed out what ideas were within our limitations and were out of our reach.
Custom Latin Roleplay Game
01.2021 - 01.2022
- Created and led a Latin roleplay game, where students control their characters in our designed plot by making Latin sentences, to develop their skills in Latin
- Creating the storyline involved discussing creative and engaging plots with the rest of the group over Summer Break
- Managing the roleplay sessions involved guiding the kids slightly whenever they were lost, grading their sentences, and providing a response,
- Coded a Discord Bot to help with some of the tedious tasks of roleplay such as finding Latin words and rolling dice
- The bot allowed the kids to roll dice on Discord and search for Latin words
- This made the roleplays more engaging and efficient as everybody could engage with their dice rolls or dictionary entries on the same platform.
