This year’s E-Ship Sprint is an odd one. Technically, it has two exhibitions instead of one. The first exhibition is this week’s Lemonade Standoff Challenge for the Elementary School (ES) and Investor Pitch for the Middle School (MS) on Wednesday 25th July. The second exhibition is the Children’s Business Fair on Friday 5th August. Moving […]

End of Week 4. Five more days to the E-Ship’s Exhibition. And the Children’s Business Fair is in two weeks. Furthermore, the Middle School Eagles have to line up their apprenticeships before the Children’s Business Fair. Few Eagles were in tears. They were not sure if they were up for the tasks. It is overwhelming.

Week Three. It is the mid-way point in this Entrepreneurship Quest. Last week, it was an exuberance of ideas and planning, akin to Simba singing “I can’t wait to be king.” Now, execution starts. Rush. Stress, and potentially exploring shortcuts. “Can I bulk purchase products and call it my own?” or even an innocent lie

Last week, we described the start of a Sprint as the Sun touches the Earth. Full of magic. Full of life. And potentially full of power (especially if your father tell you that you will own his empire). With great power comes great responsibility. How do you explain that to a privileged child? You can’t.

A new Sprint is always exciting. Well, this is our 12th Sprint. Why is it still so appealing? Simple. It is alive, and it is our Circle of Life. You mean, The Lion King’s Circle of Life? Yes, and that movie and songs are profound! From the day we arrive on the planet And blinking,

Something new. Will it work? Skepticism looms in all new ventures, new methods or new faces. ActonKL was all of those two years ago. Every education venture deserved this question: How do the learners perform? While we have many ways to prove one’s worth. Standardized test still provides an insight due to its consistency. We

This Sprint is a limbo Sprint. Usually, there are six weeks to a Sprint. It’s fair to say that Malaysia has plenty of Public Holidays—among the highest in the world. But with the Election week and two overnight trips, there was 20% less time. 23 days versus an average of 29 weekdays. Marine Science is

This is a shorter post. Not that it’s a less exciting week. Quite the opposite. This week consisted of two blog post, this and the Sleep with Sharks post. This week, Eagles got their body and hands dirty. One did it with full involvement: Ever wondered how long an orca is? Andre is ~5.5 feet.

Malaysia has islands, beaches, aquariums, conservation parks—all brilliant access to marine life. When we planned the Marine Science Quest back in October last year, we were ecstatic to the possibilities. The original plan: an East Coast excursion, with snorkeling, diving, and turtle hatching observations. But the price would be exorbitant. The Ramadan month proved tricky

It’s an exciting week. Life does not progress in a linear way. The studio energy ebb and flow. There’s so much that happened that it’s quite impossible to get your head around it without a schedule of events. Hero Sharing by Cindy The Elementary School Eagles (ES) started the first morning of the week with
