What I did to get this badge.

  • I enjoyed playing Pac-Man as part of my retro gaming activities for the Back to the Future badge.
  • I created a college of my favorite childhood items.
  • Been out for lunch with my grandmother and discussed about her 60th birthday celebration. We also enjoyed a Punch and Judy show. I thoroughly appreciated that event.
  • Watched Adverts from the past
  • I prepared a traditional, classic sprinkle cake.
  • I created a profile of my younger self using Canva.

Upon reflecting on my initial monthly badge, I am pleased to report that I successfully completed both my style and Back to the Future badges. My three most valued aspects of these badges are that I had the opportunity to bake a cake, attended a food festival, and spent quality time with my grandparents.

The old school sprinkle cake is being sliced and stored in containers.
I enjoyed afternoon tea alone, having the final slice of a cake I prepared for the Back to the Future challenges.
Applying a layer of icing to the traybake.
Mixing the ingredients together.
The finished product was left to cool.

This is a photograph of the Pac-Man game, which was used for the second criterion of the badge, requiring the participant to play an old arcade game.

This was one of the adverts I utilized for the Back to the Future Badge.

Ultimately, my favourite advert out of them all is the ASDA Christmas advert
My lunch consisted of a warm, freshly baked flatbread topped with golden, crispy falafel balls, smooth and creamy hummus, and a colorful array of fresh vegetables including crisp cucumbers, ripe tomatoes, and shredded lettuce. As I enjoyed this meal, I discussed it with my grandma while reminiscing about the past. Our conversation also touched on my grandparents’ 60th birthday party, reminiscing about the joyful celebration.
I had an iced latte with my lunch.
We both reminisced about the Punch and Judy puppet show we watched during my grandparents’ combined 60th birthday celebration at their garden inside therecalling specific moments and the reactions of the children present.
I created a digital collage of all my favorite childhood items.

Overview of this badge.

When I initially undertook this badge, I was somewhat skeptical due to my lack of enthusiasm for the theme. However, upon engaging with the material, I found the experience to be quite enjoyable.

My three favorite activities in this badge are preparing the sprinkle cake, conversing with my grandmother about past experiences, and creating a profile about myself on Canva.
