As a response to student survey results, we trialed a new-to-us format of bridging connections and increasing engagement for learners - "Creative Connections Clubs". Students were split into mixed-grades groups based on their choice of activity or learning experience (eg. material exploration, story through music, science of baking, ADST, etc.) The groups met once a month for 3 months. We wondered: 

• How do intentionally created experiences and spaces increase student engagement and connections?
