MiniMester: Students Creative Outlet After Standardized Testing
While Upper School students worked diligently through the morning on ERB Standardized Testing, their afternoons were met with collaboration and creativity as they constructed their MiniMester projects.
The entire Peck campus became an innovative workspace as students milled about classrooms, common spaces, and outdoor walkways with paints, cameras, and crazy costumes!
MiniMester is a project-based learning assignment that allows students to exercise their imaginations as they work in groups to build themed projects across grade levels.
Grade 5 was tasked with building pinball machines, replacing old-school Pac-Man themes with their own creative ideas. Grade 6 competed with one another as they constructed wood-and-cardboard chariots, with hopes that theirs would carry them across the finish line first on race day. Grade 7 was busy behind the scenes directing silent films, and last but not least, Grade 8 was hard at work constructing functional carnival games of all kinds!
It has been all-hands-on-deck for MiniMester, and all of our Upper School students should be proud of the finished products!
