Discovery Year 5. Session 2. Week 4.

This week, E-Ship Quest set sail for Product Island, the Studio celebrated its first badge ceremony, and Heroes learned about sacred traditions in Ancient Egypt! 

QUEST

Discovers dug into the product creation process as their entrepreneurship ideas entered the prototyping phase. In Week 4, learners explored 2D prototypes, like design sketches, and 3D prototypes, like scale models. They analyzed each type before deciding which format would best serve their business. On Friday, the Studio discussed the process of writing a pitch. The entrepreneurs reviewed excellent examples and received support in “perfecting their pitch” from Explorers. 

OUTDOOR PLAY

Week 4 brought expansion to Outdoor Play. By demonstrating a commitment to respecting materials, one another, and their community as a whole – learners earned even more choices in their play. Artwork in the natural world and building with small parts became an energetic, exciting part of the day. 

CIVILIZATION

The tribe traveled back to their continuing story in early Egypt. They took a deep dive into the history of mummification and the role sacred tradition plays in society. 

WORK CYCLES

Learners witnessed a fellow traveler earn the first badge of the year! Each studio member leaned in to hear the Hero share the challenges and rewards faced while working toward their goal. Beyond this, the Work Cycles continued with collective goal setting and sharing. This week, discussions included reflections on the current working environment, the art of balancing work and play, and tools for finding flow despite distraction. 

We look forward to the final week of Session 2 as well as the challenges, growth, and celebration coming with it!
