1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,583
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:04,368 --> 00:00:07,400
- [Assembly Speaker]
(mumbles) down points,

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,653
we account to the accumulated
score for the team,

4
00:00:12,530 --> 00:00:15,380
and then we use these points
for (drown out by cheering).

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,320
- This is the our College Bowl team

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:20,930
for the Corps of Engineers.

7
00:00:20,930 --> 00:00:22,440
The opportunity that we have

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,560
as a professional organization is

9
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,020
that we have an opportunity
to mentor these kids

10
00:00:27,020 --> 00:00:28,490
as they come up and they're ready

11
00:00:28,490 --> 00:00:31,810
to start their careers
in a STEM background,

12
00:00:31,810 --> 00:00:34,030
and provide some idea
of what leadership is,

13
00:00:34,030 --> 00:00:38,010
but also to educate them and
further advance their knowledge

14
00:00:38,010 --> 00:00:41,890
of what our organization
does, what other organizations

15
00:00:41,890 --> 00:00:44,220
that are participating in this event do.

16
00:00:44,220 --> 00:00:45,980
So it's a really good opportunity

17
00:00:45,980 --> 00:00:49,320
for professional organizations
to come and interact

18
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,570
with these kids as they're about

19
00:00:50,570 --> 00:00:53,610
to start their professional
careers themselves.

20
00:00:53,610 --> 00:00:57,430
The way the event is
structured is the kids come in,

21
00:00:57,430 --> 00:01:00,670
they're unexpecting of what is to come.

22
00:01:00,670 --> 00:01:02,780
All of us organizations, we're here,

23
00:01:02,780 --> 00:01:05,640
we're showing all this
enthusiasm, we're excited,

24
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,350
we're screaming, we're
yelling, we're cheering,

25
00:01:08,350 --> 00:01:11,710
just trying to give
them a sense of comfort

26
00:01:11,710 --> 00:01:15,230
So that they can essentially
come out of their shell.

27
00:01:15,230 --> 00:01:17,780
Once we go through that process,

28
00:01:17,780 --> 00:01:21,220
then they have an
opportunity to come meet us

29
00:01:21,220 --> 00:01:26,220
in our very quick interviewing
rounds so that we can decide

30
00:01:26,380 --> 00:01:28,720
whether we wanna select them on our team.

31
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,290
Once we have them selected on a team,

32
00:01:30,290 --> 00:01:33,390
through our draft process,
then we begin our events.

33
00:01:33,390 --> 00:01:36,670
The resume competition,
when we have an opportunity

34
00:01:36,670 --> 00:01:38,320
to help them improve their resume

35
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:42,910
that they can actually use
to go seek job opportunities.

36
00:01:42,910 --> 00:01:45,870
Then we have skits, which
they have the opportunity

37
00:01:45,870 --> 00:01:50,870
to kind of use creativity,
use interpersonal skills,

38
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,550
potential leadership
skills, and just come out

39
00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:56,500
of their shell and become comfortable

40
00:01:56,500 --> 00:01:58,670
being in a large audience, and then

41
00:01:58,670 --> 00:02:01,950
to actually do a project
and this project takes a lot

42
00:02:01,950 --> 00:02:05,060
of that creativity, the
intelligence, the thought process

43
00:02:05,060 --> 00:02:10,060
to work as a team to successfully
achieve a common goal.

44
00:02:10,460 --> 00:02:15,250
Ideally, the program is covering
a whole well-roundedness

45
00:02:15,250 --> 00:02:19,160
of the professional,
which is problem solving,

46
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,800
leadership, and working as a team.

47
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,810
So this is a great introduction

48
00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:25,530
to what we do in the real world

49
00:02:25,530 --> 00:02:27,030
as professional organizations.
