Last term these two students and a teacher called Mr Sharma from Tamaki College and Andrew Patterson, came to our Team 5 block to talk to us about how these two students (Saia & Gabe) were picked to go to the United States, Silicon Valley. At Silicon Valley there was so many company's they went to like Stanford University, Khan Academy, Yelp, Microsoft, Google, Xero, Facebook, Instagram, Apple, Twitter, Ideo, Nasa and Alcatraz. Before Saia and Gabe went to America they didn't even know some of the company's that they were about to go to, but now after they came back they know a little bit of imformation about those company's. While they were talking to us about the things they did, I could see that they were so motivated, inspired and full of happiness because they have been to many different places in Silicon Valley and learned heaps about them. When I am a year 11 at Tamaki College and if somebody gave me an opportunity for something so amazingly special to do then I would say yes to it.
