As part of GJU's German Week activities, the CSNACH team organized and planned a campus-wide Treasure Hunt Quest in the style of Sherlock Holmes. This quest incorporated geology-related questions, aligning with the CSNACH theme for this year's German Week. The event aimed to offer students a fresh perspective on geology through a fun and educational experience that combined joy and learning.
Five groups participated in this unique quest, competing with enthusiasm, fairness, and a spirit of camaraderie. Various prizes were awarded for the most original team name, unique team clothing, best photo of a geological feature at GJU, and overall best team performance.
All participating groups expressed great satisfaction with the quest, requesting more opportunities for similar experiences. They also showed excitement about the possibility of starting a student club under CSNACH supervision, focusing on Natural and Cultural Heritage.
Here are some participant feedback highlights:
