Communication

• On the day of your event, you may receive notifications of changes/reminders via phone call and/or text message. The cell number you provided when you registered for this event will link you directly to our field trip team on site for the day.

How to Ensure Student Success

We get it! Students don’t like email, so no matter how many times the information is sent their way it doesn’t always make it to them. We kindly request that you help prepare your students for the day by sharing the following with them prior to attending our event. A great way to communicate this message is to read it directly before entering the Toronto Zoo.

What exactly are we doing today?

Flashpoint’s Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship (ICE) exercise is the process of finding real-world solutions to authentic challenges. During your session today you will tackle the ICE process and work collaboratively in teams to solve a problem provided by our partners at the Toronto Zoo. Once your team has identified your solution, you will be asked to present it for evaluation. Throughout the day you will have an opportunity to work on a multitude of skills such as communication, organization, leadership, public speaking, time management and critical thinking.
