Last week, we celebrated the end of the 2014-15 year with a Ranch Trip and Mini-Exhibition for Session Seven.

At the ranch, Eagles competed on the obstacle course, had a long swim at the swimming hole, an unforgettable finish to the Embracing Life: Facing Death Quest with Iba’s Goat Ceremony and a sunrise celebration.

On Friday, we returned for a Mini-Exhibition of SOLEs, DIY (Do-it-Yourself) projects and EdX course presentations. Do-it-yourself electric bikes; SOLEs about black holes and this review of an EdX course: ““Yes, my Python programming course from MIT is ‘pretty challenging.’”

We ended the day with lessons learned, focusing on “embracing life and facing death;” the trials and tribulations of self-guided learning and deep reflections on this year’s Overarching Question: “When should a Hero submit to authority?”

Whew!  So much learning to celebrate, in so little time.
