During this class we will identify the oceans of the world, explore the different layers of the ocean, and discover many things that live in the ocean. We will partner with local organizations and a marine biologist for age-specific materials and hands-on activities.

We will be exploring the wonderful world of puppets, Muppets and marionettes. Students will work collaboratively to create characters, sets and scripts for a variety of plays.

In this class we will learn about the importance of recycling and giving new life to  everyday materials by creating hands-on art, sculpture and upcycled projects. Children are encouraged to bring materials in from home that they would ordinarily throw away so we can make something new with it.

During this class we will be learning about how simple machines help us do work by building catapults, pulleys, ramps, wind-powered machines, and noise makers!

In Tinkering, students explore materials, supplies, tools and concepts in an open-ended, adult-guided way. Past Tinkering sessions have involved making custom Minecraft controllers, exploring linkage mechanisms with cardboard and brads, testing out paper circuits to make light-up cards and pictures, and taking apart consumer electronics and toys to see what’s inside.
