To inspire team-bonding among the girls, they also engaged in marshmallow challenge, a competition among the various SDG groups on who builds the tallest free-standing structure out of 20 sticks of spaghetti, one meter of tape, one meter of string, and one marshmallow.
They had a class on leadership, its essence, types and qualities; and another class on musical performance.

Also, progress has been made with the training of Bemore Girls in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) as they continued with lessons on the basics- including Microsoft Excel, Word Excel, Power Point, graphics and Coding.
