Come as a Character

How many Mighty Jacks can you count? A dozen or so students (and more than a few teachers!) dressed as MCBA characters and earned participation points for their classes.

Thanks to TM in 5G for being our photographer!

Scooter Pull

First: nobody got hurt. Really! ; )

Second: let's just hope Nina the Goat doesn't pull Inspector Flytrap as fast as these competitors were pulling each other…

Basketball Shooting Contest

Several characters in Secret Coders love to play basketball (and so does the book's author by the way), so Anna and Emilia launched Team MCBA's 2018 activities by running a basketball shooting contest today. Congratulations to those participants who made it to the final round and to our winner.

Independent Projects

Readers are welcome to make independent projects anytime! Independent projects can be drawn, built, baked, sewn, painted, quilted, or created online. We've had scrapbooks, games, posters, cookies, settings created using Lego or Minecraft, and much more. Here are two to get us started:

Come to the LC to see how this rendition of the Berlin Wall is made up entirely of tiny words summarizing A Night Divided.

Come to the LC to see this 3D depiction of Moon Base Alpha, the setting of Space Case.

"Sketchbook of Impossible Things" Drawing Contest

This contest was inspired by the sketchbook that Ally keeps in the book Fish in a Tree. The contest was designed and run by Luc, and will be judged by SES art teacher, Sarah. Here are some of the drawing entries. Which do you think is the best drawing? Which image seems the most impossible?

Wall Jumping Contest

This contest was inspired by the brave souls who attempted to climb over or tunnel under the Berlin Wall, as described in the book, A Night Divided. Here are two action shots of our winners. Can you tell who they are?
