just because a child is empowered, does not mean they’re engaged in the activity
just because you’re engaged does not mean you’re empowered
engagement + empowerment + environment = max learning potential

The tasks can be completed in any order
All tasks must be completed
You may complete them in groups
You may not ask the presenters for help UNTIL you have asked three other participants

Charlie: [to Maverick] When I first met you, you were larger than life. Look at you. You're not going to be
happy unless you're going Mach-2 with your hair on fire and you know it.
