To acquire knowledge one must study, but to acquire wisdom one must observe.

Hey everybody! Happy Friday!
Did you know bugs can help us solve crimes? Learners have been exploring forensic entomology this week to try to help them solve the case of a missing chicken! They’ve also been sharpening their observation and analysis skills through a series of experiments involving decomposition and microbial science.
In addition to detective-skills-sharpening, learners have been reflecting on (and recovering from) their business fair experiences, trying to tackle their remaining badges, and enjoying the sunshine!
Overheard in the Studios This Week
As we welcome our new guide, Ryan, into the pack, he’s been a valuable set of fresh eyes observing the dynamics of the studio. As part of his guiding process, he’s been taking careful notes about the interesting and insightful and hilarious things the learners say. Here are a few of his recorded quotes from the week:
“All you have to do is not answer any of our questions.” C’s advice to Ryan on his role as guide
“More knickernoodle nookie.” -J (translation: More snickerdoodle cookie.)
“Wait wait, I want to talk… ah I forgot.” -Just about everybody during discussions
Character creations characteristics:
“He shoots rock magic balls… and his least favorite food is cardboard.” -C
“Whatever it touches turns magic.” -J describing the powers of Snowy the Phoenix
