HAPPY THANKSGIVING from your friends here at The Imagination Lab! We hope that everyone is enjoying their day and break from school!
In the spirit of always educating, here are a few fun random Thanksgiving facts!
-Only male turkeys can gobble, female turkeys (hens) cackle.
-Turkey was part of the first meal Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin had when they were on the moon.
-Ben Franklin would have chosen a turkey to be our national bird. He reportedly thought eagles had "bad moral character" and that turkeys were "a much more respectable bird".

Heard about The Imagination Lab but want to know more? Join us for a night to discover our students' hands-on learning experience during an Odyssey to see if this is the volunteer opportunity for you! Community members, local businesses, parents and grandparents are all welcome!
With growing diversity in our schools, we have a need for volunteers to help bridge the gap in language barriers to provide the same learning experience to our multilingual students as our English-native students! Learn, create, and imagine alongside our students!
If you speak any of the languages below OR you are interested in using provided resources to help a student during the Odyssey, please check out our Supporting Multilingual Learners sign-up page for the dates and times we will have these students!
(Languages Needed: Chatino, French, Haitian Creole, Hausa, Lingala, Portuguese, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Yoruba)

Join us for a Night at the Lab, Thursday November 3rd! #QuakersImagine
We've had a great start to the year here at The Imagination Lab, big thanks to our volunteers for helping in our Odysseys! We even had the pleasure of watching caterpillars grow into butterflies! Here's a peek at one pre-chrysalis! #QuakersImagine
Thankful for 17 days of 2022 Summer Odysseys, MS & HS volunteers, IAs, and teachers. Cup stacking (great example of 4Cs in action) was popular with all ages even when we had outdoor recess! What have you been investigating with your Duke Energy Curiosity Kit? #QuakersImagine
Oh what fun we had on our first day of Summer Odysseys Camps! Favorite activity of the day might have been cup stacking, part of our indoor recess plan. Rain can't take our joy for learning! #QuakersImagine

A view of The Learning Garden this snowy morning. So many questions it raises - What direction did the wind blow last night? What time was this picture taken? What is happening to the strawberry plants under the snow? What questions (or answers!) do you have? #QuakersImagine
