In this class we learn about kinetic energy and how we can use it to make a variety of structures. Some kinetic sculptures are made specifically as art pieces, while some serve very specific mechanical purposes. We will explore both of these, and create several kinetic sculptures/towers/machines based on what we learn.

Use LEGO to practice building stories! Students will use the unique set of inspiring bricks and pieces that comprise the LEGO Story Starter curriculum, along with exciting prompts and backgrounds, to polish their story-telling skills. Once their build is complete, they will photograph the scenes they have created and use these photos to illustrate comics or graphic novels. The possibilities are endless!

During this class students will have an opportunity to work with LEGO WeDo 2.0 as well as LEGO Story Starter sets to create a moving scene made out of LEGO! Students will work in small, mixed-age groups in order to achieve a combination of robotics and storytelling.

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.
