The day ended in a competitive quiz night, which saw the students exhibit their knowledge on topics ranging from the periodic table to popular culture. The quiz also featured a round in which the participants had to guess the mentors, pictured as babies, which proved to be harder than expected!
The evening ended with some impromptu dancing (see Instagram and Twitter for video evidence!). Everyone was in high spirits and looking forward to the weeks ahead as they “shook off” any worries whilst dancing along to Taylor Swift!
