Last week we had a fun team activity! We hit the courts to play some Padel at Peakz Padel. It was exiting to see everyone bringing their A-game and cheering each other on! After all the action, we had some well deserved dinner. Here's to more memorable moments and strengthened bonds within our team!

"In order to learn optimally one should strive to spend as much of their learning time in the zone of proximal development. That is, making memory retrieval difficult, but not too difficult. For example, asking what you had for breakfast last sunday instead of one month ago" shorturl.at/dwI03
