Catholic school students present ‘outside the box’ ideas at Aquinas Expo
When you tell students to think outside the box, all sorts of interesting things happen!
A model for an underwater military base, a baseball diamond made out of candy and a Coney Island scene, complete with the Cyclone and Nathan’s Famous, constructed out of recyclable materials were all on display Wednesday morning at the Aquinas Expo, a fair designed to allow students from the Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn to present their ideas for a better world.
Organized by the Diocesan Aquinas Society, a group named after Saint Thomas Aquinas, the patron saint of students, the expo took place in the gymnasium at Holy Angels Catholic Academy in Bay Ridge and featured projects created by hundreds of students from more than a dozen schools.
