 * Great opportunity
 * Challenges that relate to the real world – outcomes have a real impact locally
 * Greater demands – thinking at higher levels, finding out what they want to know, enthusiasm for challenge, stimulating curiosity
 * Stretching oneself to tackle something different (out with the comfort zone) and get enjoyment and satisfaction from that
 * Away from chalk and talk teaching to fun and interactive
 * Enjoyment not always fun!! Not instant gratification. Responsibility to learn. Enjoyment aid to learning. Challenge no matter how small – acknowledgement.
