Learn chess with Magnus Academy, five-time world champion Magnus Carlsen’s academy! We've taught 100,000 children to play including state & national champions, but most students are beginners looking to learn a new skill and have FUN. Class time is divided between lessons and practice games. Lessons range from the basic rules to advanced tournament strategies. Students will have the opportunity to play in tournaments (in-person and online) outside of club time. This in-person club includes free online extras including weekly practice tournaments, a Chesskid Gold membership ($49 value!), and an event with a chess celebrity. Last year's guests were World Champion Magnus Carlsen and Judit Polgar (the best female chess player of all time). All chess supplies provided. All skill levels are welcome

Using coding skills in Scratch Jr, students will design their own games, such as Coin Collecting, Hide-n-Seek, Magic Cups, Dodgeball, Pac-Man and more! Each class offers a new and exciting backdrop where kids can let their imaginations go wild! Learning to code at any age is beneficial to students. Similar to learning another language, early exposure can help a child pick it up with confidence and ease. During the class, they will program their own interactive games, stories, and animation. Kids have a blast solving problems, designing projects and creatively expressing themselves. Level 1: Make short stories by adding characters/backgrounds. Apply elements of animation (e.g. movement, rotation and speed). Create dimension and depth by shrinking, growing, and hiding characters (sprites)
