Announcing Session 5 Quests!

 

We are thrilled to announce the Quests for our Spark, Elementary, Middle, and High School Studios for Session 5!

Welcome to 2022!


Music Quest

Spark Studio

Imagine a world without music. What would life be without music? The world would be a very quiet place. Our life without melodies and harmonies would be totally different. Imagine if birds couldn’t sing? Listening to and playing different tunes help us to remove stress, relax, and it can also help motivate us in trying times. Music has the ability to convey all sorts of emotions. It can be a way to deliver messages, a fine art, or nothing more than a source of entertainment.
During this Music Quest we will explore and discover the many sounds in our lives and the emotions attached to those sounds. The musical images that music and songs are able to create are amazing. With a little imagination we may discover many talents amongst us.


healthy living Quest

Lower and Upper Elementary

Children are often curious about the way their body works. Questions like “Where does our food go?,” “What happens when we sleep?,” or “Why do we blink?” are constantly popping in their head as they realize something that they can’t explain. Often we might overlook the fact that the human body is a mystery to the child’s mind, one that they’ll happily explore if given the opportunity and the resources. Welcome to the Human Anatomy Quest! This session heroes become medical professionals as they run their own clinics, assess and make recommendations for how to live a healthy lifestyle.
Each week heroes will move through the body one system at a time learning about the parts, functions, and habits to keep that system healthy. They will have the opportunity to build models, create diagrams, speak with medical professionals and finally show their findings during our exhibition. This anatomy quest will make for fertile ground for our future doctors or scientists!


Entrepreneur Quest

Middle School

Do you have a great idea for a business? Do you already have a business but need more investors to see you reach the next level? Welcome to the Entrepreneurship Quest!
Each of you will (individually or in a group) create a business and pitch your idea — Shark Tank style — to potential investors (a diverse collection of world-class business experts). Cash prizes of $75, $50, and $25 will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place pitches. Are you ready to start your entrepreneurship journey? Let’s go!


CSI Quest

High School

From Studio to Courthouse - Welcome to the CSI Quest! This session heroes will dissect a real world scenario through physical evidence inspection, chemical analysis, and trace evidence. In the end, heroes should be able to present an argument for what type of killer they are, the reasons why the committed the crime and what sort of sentence they deserve based on the information they’ve learn this session during your investigation. You don’t have to come to the same conclusions as others with the same case, but in the end, heroes will need to be able to persuade the jury to consider about your point of view. During exhibition, parents and experts will determine whether the defendant is guilty or non guilty through a mock trial where all of the evidence will be presented. Are you ready to see who did it and why?


 Quests are real-world projects to master 21st-century skills.

Usually lasting four- to six-weeks, each Quest includes a series of challenges bound by a compelling narrative and is designed to deliver 21st century skills while simultaneously incorporating traditional topics like science, social studies, and history.
