C&T Department Retreat

Craft & Technology Department Retreat: A Day of Discovery and Delight

The Craft & Technology department embarked on an inspiring retreat filled with creativity, innovation, and a dash of sweetness. Our journey began at Vivita, where we explored how design thinking can be brought to life through hands-on experiences. We saw firsthand how students could be empowered to brainstorm, prototype, and create through a variety of engaging mediums. The highlight? Designing our very own keychains, earrings, and bookmarks by upcycling plastic bags—turning waste into wonder!

The adventure continued at Ice Cream Chefs, where we treated ourselves to a behind-the-scenes look at the science of ice cream. From gelato to sorbet, we explored the different types of frozen delights and learned about the entrepreneurial journey behind the business. The owner’s candid sharing gave us fresh insights we hope to pass on to our students.

Beyond the learning, what made the day special was the camaraderie. Over sweet treats and warm conversations, we strengthened our bonds and left with hearts full and minds brimming with new ideas for our classrooms. A retreat to remember—equal parts fun, food, and future-ready inspiration!
