Session 6 launched with energy and focus as Heroes embraced a new coin game designed to encourage responsibility and "freedom within guardrails." We also kicked off our physics Quest by exploring Newton's Laws through hands-on toy car design. From testing speed and distance to redesigning after failure, Heroes demonstrated creativity, perseverance, and the powerful lesson that setbacks are simply part of the journey toward success.
