After you attend an event, write a blog post. Include one picture from the event, and answer the following questions: 

1. What event did you attend?
2. Why did you choose to attend this event?
3. What did you do and/or learn at this event?
4. Would you recommend this event to future students? Why or why not?

Example

I attended the African Dance Class because I like dancing but have never learned an African dance style. I danced and learned about Ghanaian drums. I would recommend this event to future students because it was a lot of fun.


Please complete this challenge by Friday, February 23rd. If you have any questions or wish to attend an unlisted event, contact Sarah Anne using your UTC email.
