The Discovery heroes were full of excitement and joy this week. The highlight of the week was the end-of-session Exhibition of Learning, where the Discovery heroes proudly invited their parents to witness the incredible work they’ve done so far in the ‘Build the Tribe’ quest. Discovery heroes took charge of planning the entire exhibition program, thoughtfully assigning roles for each step of the process. They coordinated the setup of chairs and scenes for the event and even crafted insightful questions for the Socratic discussion. Their collaboration was the key in bringing the exhibition to life.
Each hero presented their Hero Board, a personal showcase of their journey, strengths, and goals, reflecting the story of their individual growth. Parents had the opportunity to see how much effort the heroes have put into understanding themselves through this meaningful project.
The exhibition also featured a special Contract Signing Ceremony, a Acton tradition for building the tribe where the heroes commit to their promises for the studio’s contracts. In front of their parents and fellow learners, each hero signed the studio contract, symbolizing their dedication to upholding the promises they worked on together. It was a beautiful moment of accountability, with every hero embracing their role in shaping a learner-driven community.
As part of the celebration, we watched the Lip Dub video that the heroes had worked on earlier in the session. Filmed, choreographed, and edited entirely by the heroes themselves, the video was a joyful testament to their creativity, teamwork, and leadership. Watching their excitement as the video played was truly a special way to conclude the exhibition. We look forward to seeing how the tribe continues to grow, learn, and support one another in the upcoming sessions!
