The Official Events Blog for Innovation Club at The American University of Beirut
Innovation Club AUB had its fair share of AUB Outdoors which is one of the biggest spring break festivals in Lebanon. Despite Outdoors week coinciding with the final exam week, Innovation Club AUB members managed to design and construct a colorful game stand that grabbed the attention of all people passing by. Since the theme of Outdoors this year was “The Alien Invasion”, we created a game called “Alien Darts” which children and adults equally enjoyed. It challenged the player to hit all the alien ships while avoiding the astronauts then gave them a chance to double their winnings. Despite the horrible weather conditions during that weekend, members were dedicated to keep all visitors happy and entertained.
