One of the most popular activities at the design lab is a day exploring frogs and robots.  Students get to explore the frog habitat in VR and then build their own robot frog using the Lego WeDo kits at the Design Lab.  By lunchtime, there are hopping droids all over the floor.  New this year, we're able to show different animals and other artifacts in augmented reality (AR) and merge the real world and the virtual world together with great excitement. 

Students in grades 8 and 9 at Elkford Secondary had the opportunity to go swimming at the Elkford Aquatic Centre.  There were many activities planned as the students learned about winter safety.  They were even daring enough to simulate falling through the ice by rolling in the snow to experience the shock of being instantly cold and wet.

​Grade 6 students at TM Roberts enjoyed some outdoor time learning about themselves and others through nature.
