Event Planning: The World's Biggest Class

In 2008, Vietnam’s Ministry of Education decided to host the "World's Biggest Class." The idea was to simultaneously host a series of 30-minute classes in several schools throughout the country on the same day, thus creating the largest class of all time.
Our middle school was chosen to be the featured school for this event. I was brought in as one of the instructors of the school's class. During the training, I created a Sci-fi backstory of the class, where two aliens decided to participate in the lesson in order to save their planet’s failing education system. This event marked one of my earliest experiences with script writing and performing for an audience.
