From the looks on their faces in all of the photos, i-Term week has been amazing for MPA Middle Schoolers! They’ve been near and far all over the map, spending the week immersed in learning things completely new to them through hands-on projects.
i-Term courses this year range from the intricacy of dramatic stage make-up to dog sledding, and these unique opportunities all embody MPA’s mission of thinking independently and learning joyfully. Some students will come home with the newfound knowledge of how to cook Puri or where to find the best tostadas in the Twin Cities. Some students will have created their own computer app and galaxy-ready rovers. Some have met and befriended our alumni who dream big and do right beyond MPA. Some will return with adventurous stories of the rainforests in Costa Rica.
These impressionable young minds are out in the world, exploring inquiry-based, experiential learning beyond the classroom. That is the nature of i-Term. Take a look at some of the fun so far and make sure to visit our Flickr page for ongoing updates!
