This afternoon we explored the iconic Fenway Park baseball stadium and had a private tour behind the scenes. We saw some of the most expensive seats in the stadium and learnt about its interesting history and some secret facts about the ballpark. We were even allowed to sit in the fancy media box to see what the press get to see during a game.
What a busy day! Fighting the jet lag the Jellies had three fun experiences today to make the most of their time in Boston.
We started with a creative art workshop at the Apple Store before heading to a fascinating walking tour of Boston. We then finished up at the MIT Museum to see all of the incredible technologies and advancements from the world famous university.
Join them on their adventures in today’s video diary…
From robotic arms to artificial intelligence and the origins of Scratch to the most impressive optical illusions, the MIT Museum really had it all! The Jellies loved exploring all of the exhibits and exhibitions this afternoon and as you’ll see from their Video Diary they haven’t stopped talking about it!
“This afternoon we went around Boston with a tour guide who was dressed up a bit like a pirate (but I think we was meant to be one of the founding fathers!) and we explored lots of landmarks and buildings around the city. It was very interesting!” – Evangeline
“The pizza looked different because there were circles and splotches of mozzarella on there. On my slice there was a lot of tomato! I liked it, but it was definitely something a bit new” – Scarlett
“We went to the Apple Store and learnt how to use Freeform – but we already knew how to do that because of our Innovation Project! Luckily the main part of of our workshop was learning how to use Procreate to draw some pictures of American Landmarks” – Ezra
“The guy running the workshop was really fun and helped us a lot with our pictures – he was called Terrance” – Henry
After seven hours in the air, and another on the runway, the Jellies have made it to Boston. Many films were watched, and airplane meals were eaten, including scones with clotted cream and jam—obviously applied the Cornish way!
After a short bus ride, the Jellies made it to their accommodation for the next three nights, met up with Jelly Friend Matteo—who had travelled out before us—and quickly got ready for a meal at Applebee’s. You would never guess they had been awake for nearly 24 hours.
“The plane ride was very long, but the food was nice and I watched Frozen.” – Ezra
“I loved the mozzarella sticks at Applebees!” – Molly
Seven, sleepy Jellies made their way to Penpol School at 2am this morning, bags in hand and suitcases in tow, to launch Operation Waffle!
“The journey (from Cornwall) was very long, but as soon as we got to the airport it was like the movies. Everyone was just like they are in the movies, it was all calm and chill and I’m feeling pretty good about the plane and am excited to be here.” – Scarlett
