📚💡 Economics comes to life! Students in Mrs. Bowen’s Economics class rolled up their sleeves and used Play-Doh to get hands-on experience with the six core foundational principles of economics! Through creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking, students turned economic concepts into something they could see, build, and understand. 🧠🙌 Who knew learning economics could be this much fun? 💰📈 #HandsOnLearning #EconomicsInAction #LearningIsFun #StudentEngagement #FutureReady

📸 Learning Behind the Lens! Our journalism students took their cameras outside to get some hands-on practice for yearbook! Students explored different camera functions, experimented with settings, and practiced capturing photos in a variety of ways. These future yearbook photographers are learning that a great photo starts with knowing your camera—and plenty of practice! 📷✨ #Yearbook #Journalism #StudentPhotographers #BehindTheLens #HandsOnLearning

🤖✏️ Students in Dr. Busbin’s Foundations of AI class used AutoDraw to explore machine learning and AI recognition firsthand!

As students sketched, they watched AI attempt to recognize their drawings and make predictions about what they were creating. Sometimes it got it right—and sometimes it didn’t! 😄

It was a simple, hands-on way to see how training data, pattern recognition, and machine learning work together.

💰📈 Math Meets Money!

The school year is off to a great start in Ms. Catrina Herbert’s Advanced Mathematical Decision Making (AMDM) class, where students are already putting math to work in the real world!

Their first project focuses on financial literacy, giving students the opportunity to explore concepts such as future value, compound interest, savings, and long-term financial planning. 💵🧮

One of the big questions they’ll tackle: What does it take to reach $1 MILLION? 💰🎯

Through real-world applications, students are discovering how the financial decisions they make today can have a BIG impact on their future. Now that’s math that pays off! 👏

🍿 Popcorn & Perspectives: Wrapping Up Week One in Concepts of AI! 🤖

Students ended their first week of Concepts of Artificial Intelligence with a Popcorn & Perspectives jigsaw activity focused on the real-world benefits, risks, and ethical considerations of AI.

Using a recent Common Sense Media Youth AI Safety Institute risk assessment on AI mental health applications, students worked in expert groups to analyze different portions of the research. They then became the teachers, presenting their findings to classmates and discussing topics such as AI safety, human oversight, effectiveness, and responsible use.

While enjoying popcorn, students listened to each presentation and collected important “kernels” of information—one key fact, something that surprised them, and a question they still had.

One of the best parts of the lesson had nothing to do with AI. When several students became nervous or struggled during their presentations, their classmates immediately began encouraging and cheering them on. It was a great example of students building confidence, supporting one another, and practicing the communication and teamwork skills that matter far beyond the classroom.

A great way to end Week One: learning, listening, thinking, sharing, and supporting one another while exploring how AI is impacting the world around us. 🍿💭🤖

🥚🩺 First Week of School Recap!

Students in Mrs. Story’s Essentials of Healthcare class kicked off the year with a teamwork challenge to “Save the Egg!” 🥚🚑

Working in groups, students were tasked with saving their “patients” using only the materials provided. Each team received the same supplies, but there was an added challenge: design the lightest protective equipment possible while still keeping their patient safe!

Then came the ultimate test… the drop! 😬⬇️ Each “patient” was put to the test to see which team created the most effective protective equipment.

What a fun way to start the year with teamwork, problem-solving, communication, and a little friendly competition! 👏🩺
