“I’m Bored” Toolbox
@catmooy and I opened this old draft blog post and asked people to help us finish it. We asked what people do when they’re B O R E D and they (@kirkorovfan @thewitchqueen908 @serenagermany @simoneboss @theanchor @heartabby @aidenstarwars) helped us come up with this list: Read a book. Play with stuff that’s here. Look at…

Earworms
This one is for @thewitchqueen908 @yapyapwizard @pigcraft8 and everyone who went “HUH?” when I used the word earlier… We have our own ever-evolving language at ALC-NYC, and much of it is comprised of earworms. PenPineappleApplePen MakingBaconPancakes I’mNeverGonnaDanceAgain, TheWayIDancedWithYou Cuz,BabyYou’reAFirework It’s a real word. Wikipedia has my back: An earworm, sometimes known as a brainworm, sticky…

Kid Imagines the Final Battle Between Horace and Seth
Doing homework for my comic hero MOOC (Last week @douglasawesome!), I started researching Egyptian deities. I was talking with @thewitchqueen908 @shadowjack and @jacobcb about Isis, Orisis, Seth, and Horace, and @thewitchqueen908 asked whether Horace kills Seth. The internet (and Jack) wasn’t sure…apparently there are lots of different accounts of how the final battle between Horace…

Suggested adventures for while school’s closed this week!
Check out the NYCxDESIGN festival (*cough* @shadowjack *cough*)! Dig through this hard-to-read website to find cool events for Bronx Week! We saw Basquiat’s work last week and talked about his friendship with Andy Warhol. Now you can go see Warhol’s work at MoMA… …or Frida Kahlo’s work at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden! Another Botanical Garden…

Wings of Life
Yesterday was a grey and rainy day in the city, and the slurch was strong at ALC-NYC. We were super sleepy. So I asked what documentary I should screen in the afternoon for us to lazily watch, and @thewitchqueen908 emphatically insisted on Wings of Life. I later found out that he was suggesting it for me…

From the mouths of Agile Learners: Graduation ideas
Out of curiosity, I went around and asked all our students “What would/should a graduation process for ALC look like?” Here are the answers I got: There should be a test to see how long you can play Minecraft. There should be a test to see if you can survive after drinking a 5-hour energy…

Between two [imaginary] ferns, with Javair
Who are you? A logic-loving experience-devil (like dare-devil…). I love computer science. Oh, and I’m socially manipulative. What’s an example of being socially manipulative? My favorite example is in card games, like in Coup. When someone challenges you, they choose their own card. I like manipulating them to choose the wrong card. I use a…

Guest Author: Charlotte <3
Charlotte, my seven-year-old friend from QIV-C, has been hanging out with ALC-NYC and Cloudhouse these past few days we’ve visited her home. Here’s a guest post from her: I liked when my sled was going really fast, last night. With Eric, Abby, Chuck, and Javair. I kept falling out of my sled, which was funny.…

Of course you won’t be bored over the break, but just in case…
Mostly thinking of @failspy @kingthanos @jacobcb as I write this, but here are a bunch of resources for anyone in NYC over the break and unsure of how to keep adventuring while school is closed 🙂 Free museums! Don’t be shy about taking advantage of “suggested/donation-based admission” 😉 Also, I would highly recommend taking a…

A basic question…
Last week, I finally recorded the story-line of an MM game @thewitchqueen908 DMed. At the end of the game, my character finally makes it to the lair of the great golden dragon to ask for an apprenticeship. The great golden dragon asks whether the little dragon wants friendship and wisdom or just power. After being…
