Lunch 12PM

Students have a break for lunch from 12-1:00 PM.
After eating lunch, during this break, we have outdoor time.
For the middle schoolers, outdoor time occurs at the Clement Morgan Park.
For the high schoolers, outdoor time takes place at Killian Court.

The Day Continues 1PM

The last block of the day runs from 1-3:00 PM and is devoted to studio work. Students might learn new technical skills, receive feedback, or focus on prototypes that will lead to their final projects. Coaches provide structure and guidance to ensure that all students have the support they need at any given moment and clarity about how to keep moving forward.

Presentations

On the last day of each studio

At the end of each studio, we have a round of presentations to share the great work that students have done. Students explain their learning process and show off the results, receiving a final round of feedback from peers and coaches.
