About the Team

  • Anmol

    Hello, I am Anmol, I am from India, and a really rocking part part of the team. India being an eastern country is not much influenced by the Rock Music, when I was called upon to be the member of the team, that was the time when I heard the term Rock Music for the first time, while starting it took me two weeks to first understand the basic terms of the Rock music and thereafter I started with my article. Our coaches helped us a lot during the project, as they were the one who assigned the assignments to us. Every time an issue seemed to arrive we used to talk together and solve the issue. Learning is an ongoing process and is never stopped, i learnt specially about the Rock music and then I learnt about different western cultures and in a way i also learnt to say hello and bye in Portuguese. From here when I look back I find a bit of knowledge and when i look ahead i find loads of knowledge, and with such a Rocking Team was a Rocking Experience for me.

  • Chase

    I am Chase from Alabama! I think my work for this project was a good success because I think it was really good it was pretty easy. I have lots of people on my team from other countries in the world. I had to do a lot of research on the 50's and instruments of the 50's. I like Thinkquest and it was so much fun and the 50's had a lot of artists in the 50's so it was fun to learn about 50's and there was a lot of interviews.

  • Danielle

    I am Danielle from Brazil! I think my work in this project was the one to be expected of any member of a team. I was involved contributing with ideas, encouraging the team, discussing issues, analyzing issues, giving opinions, finding solutions, or helping in every way along the project, in order to complete the work as it was originally proposed. The project is about Rock and Roll and how this musical style brings impact to society today. The work was divided into decades and each team member chosen a decade to develop. Despite this division, there was a great interaction between the components of the team, each one with a large contribution to the work of the others, through images, texts, translations, corrections, opinions, we worked really as a team. I think the team has benefited a lot with the project, because the members were interviewers, translators, researchers, and using the TQ they interacted with people from various parts of the world with a lot of fun learning.

  • Drew

    I am Drew from Alabama! I think my work on the team was/is to mostly write about the 60's rock. I also had to do a lot of research, I have always wanted to be in a competition that is so much fun like this one. I picked the 60's rock because it had MANY interesting things for me to learn about.I am also a big big rock lover ever since I was about 2. I used to go crazy.When I knew I was going to be on ThinkQuest I could hardly wait. There is this rock game on the internet that I could play for hours, that is if my mom would let me. When I grow up I probably will have a rock band of my own.SO, lets rock and ROLL!

  • Igor

    I'm Igor, from the biggest city of Brazil, São Paulo. I'm a big Rock lover since 2005, when I bought that game called Guitar Hero. Believe you or not, it totally changed my life, because by then Rock was my most loved kind of music. And that work about Rock 'n Roll just made my love to the Rock grow, I learned a lot of things, not only about Rock, but about Collaboration and about Team Work. Together, we could do a great job, just as that old Rock bands, that did everything together to be successful. I learned a lot about Indian and American cultures too, and how they like Rock. I had help of the other members, whenever I needed, and then I could write my text about Rock. Our coaches from Brazil, USA and India helped us a lot on this job, and every single member helped each other, even when it was not needed. It was a very nice experience, I got a lot of new friends, and surely I will take what I learned to my whole life. Oh, and Long Live Rock 'n Roll!
