Prep Note – 8/31/2023

The experience that comes to mind when I think about creating something successful as a group is when my friends and I founded the PopDarts club at my high school. Everyday before our AP Calc began, my friends and I would all play this game called PopDarts. The game is played by placing the orange target dart anywhere in the room, whether it be on the floor, on the whiteboard, on a desk, etc. Along with the orange dart, there are three blue and three purple darts that each player gets and the goal is to shoot your blue or purple dart and land it as close to the orange dart as possible. Whoever lands their dart the closest wins. It was a simple game, but we all loved it and played every single day, without fail. One day we were playing and I suggested we create a PopDarts club. My friends all agreed and we began talking with the administration to help us start our club. Eventually, the club was official and we received some funding to purchase more sets of PopDarts. We all worked together to promote the club, increase the number of members, and organize some small events like tournaments. Now, the club has been passed down to the junior class and it is still up and running.
