Child Labor - About Us


Subsections

Our Site


Our team met and decided to create a ThinkQuest site on child labor around October 2003. All had competed in previous ThinkQuest competitions before, and two of our members (Scott and Asif) had competed in both the 2002 and 2003 competitions and, with the help of their teammates for that particular year, won best in the state in both. Alan was on the team in 2002. Asif and Scott then recruited two others, Alan and Annie, making four. All of our ThinkQuest team attends a middle school in Ohio.


Our ThinkQuest team met on Fridays after school roughly every week, starting around six weeks before the site deadline. We also met on select weekend during this time period. Before this, each member researched the topic alone.
