Classes vary from term to term. Please check current program schedule for activities available this season.
Dungeons & Dragons
Popular role-playing game in which a group of players create and play out the activities of characters within a fantasy world. This world is controlled by another player, the Dungeon Master, who arbitrates actions and provides challenges and circumstances for the players to interact with. Imagination a must!
Game Design
Design, code, animate, and play games in Scratch, MIT’s block-based programming language for kids. Build toys, games, cars, rockets, robots, castles, and circuits in Tinkercad, the 3D design tool where you can create anything you can imagine.
Minecraft Engineering
Build, collaborate, and innovate. Combine Minecraft block-building and 3D design to create imaginary worlds. Kids will develop skills in art, engineering, and presentation.
Robotics
Explore the world of robotics through art and games! Students will build a variety of projects using sets from different educational organizations. Along the way, they get to practice critical thinking, problem-solving, and engineering design.
Science Explorers ** NEW This Spring
In this fun workshop – led by Mad Science instructors – young scientists explore a variety of topics through hands-on experiments, comparison and analysis. Each session features a different topic from chemistry, earth science, physics, or engineering, and finishes with an awesome take-home experiment to keep our student science-ing! Themes covered during our Spring Semester are listed below.
Bugs, Birds, Beasts and Beyond
Explore the natural world and its adaptations. In this class students will observe creepy crawly bugs, make casts of animal tracks, and study the feeding habits of owls. Weekly topics include Bugs, Earthworks, Walloping Weather, Mission Nutrition, All about Animals, Life in the Sea, The Birds & the Beasts, Earth Awareness, Nature and The Science of Sport!
Phreaky Physics
