Scavenger Hunt

After our first week of Math Camp, the Harris School of Public Policy organized what is called the Scavenger Hunt! As an integration activity, we got a list of clues to find in the city of Chicago. Some of them were easy to find neraby the campus in Hyde Park, but for the most of them we had to travel all around the city using our CTA passes (public transportation unlimited passes for buses/rail system).

Along with getting to know the city and the "must" places to go during our stay in Chicago, we were split into 19 teams of 6-people each, in order to get to interact closely with our classmates and as a team-building strategy.

We spent from noon to 6pm travelling from point to point in the map and looking very carefully for each of the clues listed. Actually, it was a great strategy to learn how to travel around the city and to meet places that we had not otherwise known.
