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.
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.
