Hi, I’m Spencer, and this is Jack O’News and today our challenge was to do a comedy routine and perform it in front of 4 groups of 20 people and have 1 person in the audience film it. This proved to be much more difficult then originally thought, and made me feel so uncreative, it […]

Create a life in Denver – W10D3A by Katie M.

Denver. The Big City. Home of the Broncos, and of the highest stadium (and population) in the US. It’s absolutely fascinating. We only have a week, but it’s been jammed full of activities and adventures so far. Our first three days here have been dedicated to a scavenger hunt of sorts. They weren’t items like […]

Jr. Fry Boy – W9D2 by Spencer

Over the course of the last 30 hours or so, I’ve done probably one of my least successful “challenges.” The reason I say this is because I decided to do a “two-part” challenge, and it didn’t really work out the way I hoped it would. For day 1, I embarked on a math journey. My […]

Intensive Feedback – W7D1C by Katie M.

Our challenge today was to be vulnerable. We opened ourselves to the (sometimes tough) feedback from our group under the facilitation of Ari and Marian. Most of us felt a fairly strong sense of panic over the idea of this challenge, as we heard rumor of it throughout the weekend, but when it came time […]

College! – W6D5B by Lily

Hello homeschoolers, unschoolers, so on and so forth! Today is day 5 of week 6 of the UA Adventure Semester, and today, I believe, we took an important step in our lives – we spent the day visiting Western State Colorado University. Now, I know some of you may be considering skipping college, living your […]

Listening – W6D3B by Spencer

Today my group and I were with the excellent Dev. Our adventure today was to talk with locals in Crested Butte about social issues and genuinely listen to their opinions without inflicting our own biases or trying to “fix” them. We started the day out with going to the bus stop for a short, but […]
