Little Picassos for 2 & 3 year-olds meets WEDNESDAYS
3 year-olds, 10:30am-11:15am
Twos and threes explore art as a learning experience and are more interested in “doing” art than making finished products. During the “process,” twos and threes discover their own independence, as well as delighting in the joy of exploring and creating art. Using a variety of mediums to create mini masterpieces and stimulate artistic imaginations, toddler and grownup share the “process” of art as a stimulus to engage discovery and becoming familiar with various art mediums, such as painting, collage, fiber art and building with clay while squishing, mixing, tearing, and swirling. Leave the “messy” with us, but painting clothes are recommended.
Excellent workshop for grandparents searching for ways to spend time with their grandchildren while fostering a deep understanding between generations.

RobotiKs and Beyond, creating with technology for 7-10 year-olds meets THURSDAYS
Young engineers advance to the LEGO® Mindstorms® Education platform using EV3 which showcases the basic fundamentals of building and mechanical principles by engaging and motivating them to design, build and program their robots, using motors, sensors, gears, wheels, axles and various technical components. While gaining a better understanding of how technology can work in real-world applications, the EV3 curriculum develops creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and communication.
Coding is achieved by dragging and dropping icons into a line to form commands, allowing students to create, build and then mechanically manipulate their “rover” with space-themed missions and solutions.
