Every project tells a story. π
With Sora Portfolios, students curate the work that matters most to them, showcasing not just what they learned, but how they've grown along the way.
At this year's Student Showcase, Sesame (House Aurora) presented a cookbook project from her portfolio, bringing together creativity, research, and personal passion in one meaningful artifact.

Sora students live all around the world, but also enjoy learning in unique, immersive settings like STEM Expert Mayβs βChromatic Court.β βοΈ π π
In todayβs class, students took their arguments to court to debate an intriguing question: is purple real, or just a trick of our minds?
Along the way, they discovered that Professor Prism was in crisis and worked to develop their reasoning to help. The students were highly engaged and very adamant in their positions, and things got surprisingly intense (in the best way).
Conclusion: purple is real, but only in our brains π§ π
