World War II & The Cold War

Wed May 1, 10:00 PM

We will discuss the events that took place during World War II, which will include a brief discussion on the Holocaust as well as an in-depth analysis of the buildings of the first Atomic Bomb. Additionally, we will examine how this war led to the start of the Cold War and significant events such as the Cuban missile crisis, the Test-Ban Treaty, the Berlin crisis, communism, and the fall of the Soviet Union. We'll also talk about people who had significant effects on the course of the war but aren't very well known, like Oleg Penkovsky, Harry Seidel, or Janet Chisholm. We'll also talk about the Space Race and other equally interesting and suspenseful events. We'll then end the session with a competitive game of Kahoot/Blooket. If you're interested in learning about the events that occurred between 1935 and 1991 in an interactive and interesting environment, feel free to attend!

💪Intense Study Group🧾

Ended Thu, Apr 25, 2024

Welcome! 
﻿
Are you a person looking to improve your study habits? Are you trying to improve your grades? 
If so, then this series might just be for you! 
﻿
In this mini-study group, we'll meet once a week and work on getting our assignments done, studying, or getting help from others. It is very intense, as we'll be working for long hours, but we'll take frequent breaks, and take it slow. 
﻿
During each meeting, we'll start out by sharing our goals to achieve by the end of the session, take a few minutes to get ourselves situated, and begin working, with 30-minute work, and 5-minute breaks. During the 30 minutes, feel free to ask any questions related to what you're working on. 
﻿
During those 5-minute breaks, we can share our progress, ask any questions, or get up, walk around, get a drink, etc. 
﻿
At the end of each session, we'll share whether if we accomplished the goals we set for ourselves, and find things we can improve on next time. We'll end the session with a study tip that we can incorporate next time.

SHW Baking Contest (Sponsored by King Arthur Baking Co.)

Ended Tue, Dec 26, 2023

Hello Bakers! Welcome! 
Do you like baking?
Have you ever wanted to share a recipe you invented?
Do you want more people to try out your recipes? 
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, here's your chance. 
This is a Baking Contest right here at Schoolhouse, where you will get three days to come up with an original recipe (But you can get inspiration online!) bake it, give it a name, and take a picture and a video (of you explaining your desserts, and a sneak-peek of you baking it) of your dessert that you will then submit for the competition. There are no requirements to participate, just a love for baking. Six judges will look at all the submissions and decide which one is the best recipe! The rubric that judges will be using for the competition will be shared shortly after the orientation session, where more information will be given. 
🤩The winners will receive King Arthur Baking Company gift cards, more info on that in the orientation session.  
So what are you waiting for? Join us in this contest this holiday season!

Pre-Algebra Bootcamp!

Ended Thu, Nov 30, 2023

Hello there! In this series, we will go through all the topics in pre-algebra as a group, each week. We will be following the Khan Academy format and here is how the sessions are organized. We will have 1 session to cover 1 topic in pre-algebra, and after 3 sessions of learning and going over new topics, we will have a study space/ hall type of session, where if you missed any sessions,  you can get caught up and if there was a topic you didn't fully understand, we can go over it. You can also come with any prealgebra homework questions! Attendance is optional for the study hall sessions. We will have one session per week unless that has to be canceled or delayed for any reason. We will add more sessions as we go.
Space is limited as this is a small group, so please make sure to attend every session; if you miss more than two sessions without letting me or our other co-hosts know, you will be removed to make space for other learners who are interested. 
Excited to see you in the session!

We'll have bi-weekly sessions to discuss some tips and ideas we have for new competitions!
