This... Is... Tech Jeopardy!

The audience- a few members of the photo lab crew. I was surprised to see them all stay for the whole thing- they seemed to enjoy it! Each quad stood behind a computer that tallied their scores.  They buzzed in by simply raising their hands.  A different member of each squad stood to answer for each question, but the whole squad was permitted to discuss.The categories included hardware, software, instruction, programs, ports, networking, things found in a window and slots.

As a fun way to take a final exam, the Tech Squad participated in a Tech Jeopardy game last week.  They participated in their assigned squads, groups of four that will travel together over the course of the year.  They loved the game and what they didn't know before they certainly know now!

The final scores.  There were some major shifts during the game, but it all came down to final Jeopardy where the question was: what is the numerical value of 1001 0100? The game lasted about an hour an a half with the Jeopardy, Double Jeopardy and Final Jeopardy rounds.  We had commercial breaks in between where I played funny clips on the computer.
