Our students have worked extremely hard learning how to do new things, researching their topics, creating final projects and more. It’s now showtime! Our students (or experts) are busy sharing all the incredible information they’ve learned on their chosen topic.

On Day 6 we learned about the following:

We learned about the history of crocheting and that crocheting is much harder than it looks, Michelle Philpots and how she inspired a Hollywood movie, bass fishing, the 5 second rule (and how food DOES get contaminated in 5 seconds), dyslexia, a youtube station called Good Mythical Morning, and the Luminox watch.
