This was the opening for a summer institute hosted by Discovery Education at Loyola University. We brought together 150 teachers for a week of learning and professional development. Every year, we do some goofy video to kick things off. This year, we started off with a Shark Tank style video, leading into the SW entrance.

As you can see, it was incredibly well received. Many on social media called it the best opening we've had in the ten years we've been doing this. After the video, we hung out for about 45 minutes doing photos with the educators there. It was a quickie, but people are still talking about it. Our officer, vader and Leia really kicked the event off in a grand fashion!
