Did you know that you can make a compass using a paperclip and a magnet? Or open a tin can without a can opener? Do you like searching for treasure? All Hands on Deck! is a class that steps outside the pervasive technological landscape to help young learners hone critical thinking and survival skills. Each day, students will be faced with a new task in which they will have nothing but their own knowledge, newly acquired skills, and group collaboration efforts to help reach an end goal. Along the way, they will develop self-confidence, independence, cooperation, and an increased awareness of their surroundings while learning how to engage with the world in new, exciting, and practical ways. Among other activities, students will be building, braiding, fixing, foraging, navigating, and orienteering, all while learning practical and gratifying new skills to navigate life’s twists and turns more thoughtfully, gracefully, and thoroughly.
