Spark Studio
In this session, learners will explore different cultures. They will imagine themselves in another country and learn about different languages and traditions (foods, drinks, clothing, and how things are made). They will also discuss how those differences and similarities play a part in our everyday lives. Learners will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on materials in each area of the studio that reflect our theme. Spark will conclude the session with an international celebration for Exhibition that features handcrafted drinks and treats.
Discovery Studio
Discovery will be deepening their understanding of identity, culture, and self-expression through mask making in this session’s Project. Learners will make connections between their own crafted masks to traditions across the globe. Learners will take away that masks can symbolize protection, or enhance, or disguise appearance in some cases such as battle, theater, film, and more. By the end of the session, learners will be able to write an artist statement that conveys the deeper meaning behind their art.
Writer’s Workshop: Every hero’s journey encompasses a narrative that outlines the experiences that encompass their lives. This session, learners have the opportunity to write an autobiography that includes background information, their triumphs, and climactic events. Through sharing beautiful and unique anecdotes about themselves, learners will become authors in their own right, championing them to share their stories with the world.
Adventure Studio
Project: Get ready to dive into the thrilling world of physics! During this session, Adventure will team up to unravel the secrets of acceleration, force, momentum, and energy. With hands-on experiments and a secret mystery project, they’ll channel their inner scientists and embrace the excitement of the scientific method through trial and error to create innovative prototypes. Our experimentation culminates in a high-energy Exhibition, where learners will showcase their finished product in action.
Communications: This session learners will explore the transformative power of gratitude and discover how expressing their gratitude can enhance their well-being. Using the pastiche technique, they’ll focus on expressing their appreciation rather than simply reflecting on it. At the end of the session, learners will share their thoughtfully composed letters with their recipients, deepening their relationships and experiencing the joy and fulfillment that comes from meaningful expression.
