Miles came into a fifth grade classroom and presented his Odyssey of The Mind train. Miles's team advanced to state finals from regional did not advance to the world finals, while doing so his team was recognized with a special award rarely granted: The Ranatra Fusca Creativity Award is a prestigious honor in the Odyssey of the Mind competition, recognizing teams or individuals for exceptional creativity, risk-taking, and innovative thinking beyond just solving the problem. The train they built runs on a combination of a baking soda air pressure piston and a electric motor. The kids ended up with a vehicle using an Arduino controller, infrared limit switches, solidnoid valves, geared timing belts, voltage regulation, PWM speed control, and a custom made crank shaft.

A paws-itively perfect lunch! 🐾A few of our Intermediate students recently enjoyed a special lunch with Toby, Gus, or Maple and friends after winning this experience during our Educational Showcase & Mindfulness Night! From smiles and snacks to furry cuddles, it was a wonderful way to celebrate mindfulness, connection, and positive school experience.
