Electricity Quest, TED Talks, and Halloween Celebration (Session 2, Week 1)

Week 1 of Session 2 was filled with exciting Quest and Genre challenges, along with the annual AABC Halloween party!

Quest: Electricity and Light

Our Quest for Session 2 is not only exciting but also a team Quest! This session, we’ll be exploring electricity and light, with the goal of creating a city illuminated by real lights.

To make the Quest more collaborative, we were divided into small teams of two or three learners. We started with the basics of electricity and learned how to light up individual LED lights. This is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting project!

Genre: The TED Talk

Session 2 brings what might be the most exciting Genre in AABC history: the TED Talk!

As the name suggests, we'll be writing and developing our own TED Talks. These talks will be presented in front of the AABC community, with the goal of having them published on the TED website.

This is an exciting opportunity for all of us, especially the LaunchPad Studio, as we work toward creating talks worth sharing with a wider audience!

Halloween Party: AABC Style!

Although it came a little later than usual, our annual Halloween party may have been one of our best yet!

The celebration took place on Friday and was packed with fun activities. We started the day by showing off our costumes before moving on to activity stations featuring slime-making and aura battles.

Next, we took the bus to the Field House, where we played a variety of sports until 1:00 PM. We then returned to school and wrapped up the day with a great movie!

It was a fantastic way to celebrate Halloween and kick off Session 2!
