After trying, trying again...and trying again...that big explosion moment was so worth the wait! 💦💥

Our learners spent the day testing, adjusting, and refusing to give up when their experiment didn’t work the way they hoped. Their persistence finally paid off with one epic explosion (and one very soaked learning coach 😂).

Sometimes the best lesson isn’t the experiment itself—it’s learning not to quit.

Today was one of those days that perfectly captures what LUSI is all about.

I stepped back and let our learners follow their interests. Throughout the day they explored VR, built with LEGO, practiced origami, played esports games, and spent time diving into the things that spark their curiosity.

One of the highlights was a friendly Beat Saber challenge in VR. There was plenty of laughing as learners tried to beat each other’s scores—and then immediately tried to beat their own.

To make an already great day even better, we received our official accreditation certificate!

This journey has been full of challenges, growth, and more hard work than I can put into words, but moments like today remind me exactly why we started LUSI. We are incredibly proud, deeply grateful, and thankful for every learner, family, supporter, and community partner who has been part of the journey.

Official accreditation certificate received. Frame purchase pending. ❤️

No desks. No summer slide. No off switch. 🎙️📌

Gallery walk AND a podcast episode — all before lunch.

LUSI learners go year round because learning doesn’t have an off switch — and honestly neither do they. 👀

All experiences are learning experiences. Summer included.
