What problems do you hope to solve? Our students started this term by dreaming big and discussing solutions to real world problems that span continents, impact them personally, or are in the community. In the Idea Incubator students reflected on problems that they could solve in the categories of Academic, Cultural, and Environmental before designing a solution that integrated a microbit (a small microprocessor). Throughout the term they've gone through multiple iterations of their designs and made various prototypes to improve their product. 

This week we congratulate the 8th graders on an amazing opening of their art show called, Realizing a Vision 2024.  During the Winter term, 8th graders were given the opportunity to work on an independent study for the entire winter term.  After several years of building foundational art skills, and learning about a wide range of artistry through more structured projects, students were given the freedom to develop their own body of work that was then displayed at the Vera Project Art Gallery.
