Activity Purpose/ Summary:
The purpose of discussing the OKR ( Objectives. Key results ) framework with high school students was to give them practical tools for achieving academic success. By teaching them how to set clear goals and track their progress, we aim to empower them to take control of their learning journey. This approach helps students improve their grades, stay motivated, and develop habits for lifelong learning. Ultimately, the goal is to set them up for success in school and beyond, building confidence and resilience along the way.

-The team lead ( Kelvin) briefly introduced the organization and why they are passionate about its mission. In this case what it means to make a difference in the community.
-After introducing the organization, Zoey shared her personal testimony about how she managed her high school life in the USA using the OKR framework. She also talked about specific goals she set, challenges she faced, and how the OKR framework helped her stay focused and motivated.
-Each team member thereafter gave a talk on OKR and also shared their personal insights and experiences with using the framework.
