The Math and the Mouse group has been hard at work using Walt Disney World as their classroom for the MayX term by working on projects, giving presentations, doing in-park activities, and meeting with guest speakers. Yesterday’s class intermission was a quick trip to Hollywood Studios for an Annual Passholder preview of the new version of Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster starring the Muppets and today we met the Mandalorian and Grogu before flying the Millennium Falcon and working on projects! 😎

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! 🎓💜👏 Scenes from Commencement: Part 2.
