Losing Our Marbles
Heroes explored physics by building creative marble runs, learning about chain reactions, and earning rewards through a new memory game.

This week, students explored Leonardo da Vinci’s inventive ideas by building bridges and towers, learning the value of adaptation and resilience. Through hands-on challenges and thoughtful discussions, they also demonstrated strong moral character and selflessness.

Upper Elementary Heroes explored gravity through hands-on design challenges and creative experimentation in Quest this week. They also traveled to the McKinney Center to experience Tennessee history on stage before preparing for upcoming Leonardo da Vinci-inspired engineering builds.

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.
