As you watch the 同船爱歌 video below, think about these questions:
- What attention-grabbing strategies did you see the staff using in this video?
- What positive statements did staff use that kept youth together and engaged?

Now that you've watched the video, reflect on what you saw and post your responses.
- What strategies do you use in your program to keep youth together when doing a group activity?
- How did youth respond to the strategies used?
- Why is it important to encourage youth to work together when doing STEM?
