Past and present, future unknown; science and question now set in stone. The time has begun, more loud and clear, where innovations rise thanks to a life changing year. Where ignorance brewed, wonder came to play. All driven by an event that made the wandering scientists in the passionate CSN learners play—Wandering Minds.

Man is unique, never satisfied with the knowledge he has. Human beings continue to grow and question the possibilities of our surroundings. Wandering Minds transports the wonders of science and growing questions that have led great minds to discover our modern understanding. From the genius of Isaac Newton and his ideas on gravity, force, and mathematics, to the underestimated mind of Nicola Tesla that brought upon power itself in the form of electricity.

Wandering minds offered opportunities of the time being, bringing with them mind tickling inventions such as the tesla coil and a wonderful guest, the amazing Prof. WaMi Sci, that enlightened the learners of their wonder lab filled with dreams and chemistry. Thanks to the breakthrough in curiosity, the little scientists in the learners have woken up from their lazy slumber.

Science is in the human blood; it's made that we wonder and develop curious minds. As the learners continued to envision a world outside their screens, Wondering Minds gave them a realistic dream on their 3D screens. No little scientists were left behind on the Wondering Minds mission—learners to scientists in under a wonder-second.
