The Real Happy Meal

"Welcome to The Real Happy Meal, part of our Impact Lab Summer Series, where rising 6th–8th graders explore what happiness really means in a complex world. Through hands-on games, creative challenges, and real-world investigations, participants will unpack how friendships, money, kindness, stress, and media shape our sense of well-being. Working together, they’ll craft their own unique “happiness recipe” to bring more joy, connection, and purpose to the spaces they care about—at home, in school, and in their communities. Bring your curiosity, your creativity, and your big questions. This is summer with purpose."
