Art About Me

Pre K – Grade 1
By creating artwork about themselves and their community, participants in this workshop celebrate what makes them unique! Children create a collaborative book about themselves to keep in the classroom.

Arts in Action

Pre K – Grade 1
Visual art and body movement come together to teach children about lines in an exciting, active way. Children identify and create lines on paper, in sand, with paint, and even with their own bodies!

Balls, Ramps, and Chutes

Pre K – Grade 1
By testing, observing and exploring all the different ways balls move and roll, young children sharpen their scientific inquiry skills. Children are sure to have a ball!

Coaster Challenge

Grades 2 – 5
Challenge children to create the biggest, fastest, wildest (and safest) rollercoaster! Children work together to create a model rollercoaster, while learning and applying the physics of simple machines to explore force, gravity, momentum, friction and more.

Mindful Moves

Pre-K – Grade 1
Stomp like an elephant and wiggle like a crocodile! This high-energy workshop engages children in full-body movement through exploration of unique materials, sounds from around the world and a stimulating literacy experience.

Make a Masterpiece

Grades 2 – 5
Participants work together through all phases of the artistic endeavor to create a single, large-scale artwork. At the end of this workshop, the artwork can be displayed in a classroom or hallway, reminding children of their collaboration while adding a personalized touch to their classroom.
