Welcome back to school, I hope you have had an amazing mid- term break!!
Let’s start with this weeks movie recommendation.
First up in our recommendation is: Abominable
A movie launched on September 26, 2019 By: Universal Pictures.
Discovering a Yeti on the roof of her apartment building, teenage Yi and her two friends embark on an epic quest to reunite
the magical creature with his family.
they must stop a wealthy financier and
a determined zoologist who want to capture
the beast for their own gain,
Through out their journey, Yi discovers magic and true love.
Now for our second and last movie we have:
Mary Poppins Return
Mary Poppins was launched in November 29, 2019.
Bank teller Michael Banks learns
that his house will be repossessed unless he can pay back a loan.
His only hope is to find a missing certificate that shows proof of valuable shares that his father left him years earlier.
Just as all seems lost, Michael and his sister
receive the surprise of a lifetime when Mary Poppins (the beloved nanny from their childhood) arrives to save the day and take the Banks family on a magical adventure.


Student Work


Innovation
Before break in innovation hub, we spoke in details about innovations that we students would like to take part of.
Each one of us, have already decided what we want to do for our innovative challenges.
With the thought of innovation, the App of the week is: Awair
Created for the environmental wellness startup Bitfinder, Awair is a smart indoor air quality monitor that keeps track of the air you breathe where you live. Think you smell gas? Awair can tell you if you’re just imagining it or not–as well as keep track of your home’s temperature, humidity, dust levels, and other contaminants.
