Session 3 / 5:10pm  - 5:40 pm

Explore a hands-on breakdown of athletic movement and the science of training. This exhibition features interactive stations—from deep dives into sport-specific skills and research-backed training methods to personal insights on athletic growth. 

After touring the research and seeing the skills in action, head over to the recovery bar for fresh Pre-Workout & Recovery Smoothies (available during Sessions 1 & 2 only, while supplies last).

Step into the sound of the next generation as students debut their original, self-produced mini-albums. This exhibition highlights the full creative process, from songwriting and lyric composition to the technical world of digital production and sound engineering. Visitors are invited to put on a pair of headphones, explore the unique genres our artists have mastered, and hear the stories behind the tracks.

Witness a live exchange of ideas as students analyze the similarities and key differences between historical colonialism and modern-day gentrification. This session highlights deep-dive research into displacement, economic shifts, and cultural impact, challenging the audience to rethink how neighborhoods change and who they belong to. Participants will explore student-led arguments that connect global history to the local transformations happening in our own city streets.

Explore a live digital newsroom where student teams have built and managed their own blogs. This exhibit highlights the full journalistic cycle—from choosing a beat like sports or current events to publishing six polished articles per team. Visitors can browse reported features featuring original interviews, read evidence-based opinion pieces, and go behind the scenes to see the writing processes’ of our authors.

In this project, students create and perform original poems, speeches, or monologues as well as literary works by the extraordinary writers of the Harlem and Chicago Renaissance. Through close reading, writing, revision, and performance practice, students explore themes of voice, resistance, identity, and self-expression. The project culminates in a Poetry Slam–style Final Exhibition, where students present their work in a speakeasy/juke joint–inspired setting, collaborate in performance roles, and demonstrate strong communication, creativity, and presentation skills
