Session 5 / 6:20pm  - 6:50 pm

In this Spanish 1 project, students will use what they’ve learned throughout the semester to create original greeting cards written entirely in Spanish. This project, titled ¡Tarjetas con corazón!, allows students to demonstrate their understanding of basic vocabulary, cultural expressions, and present-tense communication in a meaningful and creative way.

In this interactive learning lab session, senior students guide participants through an examination of narrative structure and its role in effective storytelling. Through analysis, discussion, and applied examples, student facilitators demonstrate how intentional narrative design strengthens clarity, coherence, and audience engagement across a range of texts and disciplines.

Students collaboratively designed a complete alphabet by forming letters using their bodies and everyday objects. Each letter was carefully planned, photographed, and digitally refined before being arranged into a cohesive visual system. Students then transformed their designs into custom magnets by printing, cutting, and assembling each letter by hand. This project highlights creativity, collaboration, problem-solving, and intentional design, turning the alphabet into a functional and interactive artwork.

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.

Physics - This exhibit features student-built miniature models of "Net Zero" tiny homes, where every watt of energy used is balanced by renewable sources. Visitors can explore the engineering process behind these dollhouse-scale prototypes—from testing insulation materials and solar placement to iterating on passive heating and cooling techniques. See how students applied core physics concepts to build small-scale solutions for a more sustainable future.

Aerospace - Experience the intersection of science and imagination as students take to the skies through aerospace engineering. This exhibit features custom-built glider prototypes designed to master the forces of flight. Visitors can see how students applied aerodynamic equations to solve engineering challenges—navigating the balance of lift, weight, thrust, and drag—and explore the data from their flight tests to see how these designs performed in the air.
