Are You Smarter Than a BASEr
Hello fellow BASErs! Last Thursday, a few of us met and organized a presentation for the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. We wanted to remind them who we are and update them on activities. The creative juices were running wild!
We didn't want a traditional "Hello, my name is Brad and BASE is good" type of presentation. Instead, we decided to make it a little more fun and turn it into a parody the game show of "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" called "Are You Smarter Than a BASEr?"
This morning we played our spin-off game show with the Board. I think they found it refreshing! We were giving them something different and original in our own way, while still providing them with information on BASE.
Our emcee, Mathias, asked four open-ended questions and board members were asked to respond. We also provided them with hint cards should they have trouble. The rest of the BASErs helped the board members provide the most complete, accurate answer. Because, with BASE, there is not one right answer but rather many individual interpretations of what BASE really is.
Not bad, for a Thursday morning at 7:30!
