• ACC 2024: Family-Friendly Special Session
Thank you for coming to the ACC 2024 Family-Friendly Special Session! This session follows the adventures of Q, Ket, and Penny! As we follow their story, we will also have pauses for a number of games! The playlist for the adventure is here: Playlist This is a 7-video adventure, where there is a stop after each. The stops correspond to the following games that are part of the story:
1. Find something that reminds you of the main characters in the story
2. Discuss what you would do if you could do two things at once
3. Play "Guess that Entanglement" (sort of like a variation on 20 questions)
4. Play "Slow Motion Tag - Superposition Style"
5. Do a scavenger hunt
6. "Confuse the guard" (moving from one milestone to another in a special scheme)
Please start at the first video, and work your way through the videos and the games to the end! Please note that all participants in this adventure participate at their own risk. By participating, you assume liability for your own actions and should carry out any participation safely and only under parental guidance. By participating, you release Dr. Durand, AACC, and Wayne State University from any liability. Thank you to Research Group Discovery for the ideas for the story!
