Students gathered in Martin Hall for various team and large-group activities, such as ductape art, team bonding and more.
Artistic Explorations from the Ars Electronica Futurelab for the SHARESPACE project - an international research project funded by the European Commission that explores future embodied collaboration between humans and avatars in shared hybrid spaces through the development of novel XR technologies.
Converge is an interactive take on SHARESPACE principles, built in 3D for Deep Space 8k. It uses tracking for up to ten on-site participants and a motion capture suit for one off-site participant. All must collaborate to progress, communicating with the remote participant only via movement & body language. They must solve scenarios, guided only by subtle visual cues. The minimalistic style highlights movements and interactions, ending with participants herding crowds of AI characters.

On Jun. 15, students attending the various classes at Exploration Academy at Blalack Middle School experienced learning in fun new ways. The Science WOW! class did an experiment with dry ice and bubbles, documenting their findings. The Tabula Digital class learned math concepts in first-person video games. In A Taste of the World, students created and sampled dishes from around the globe and at the end of the summer, will leave with a book of recipes. Other students worked in clay, colored dominos, and work in various art mediums.
