Does your child love playing games? How about making their own? With this class they can transform their love of games into a start down the valuable path of learning to code! We teach students how to make their own versions of popular games, showing them how to take an idea and turn it into reality. This introductory game coding course uses Scratch, a coding tool developed by M.I.T. for elementary students. Using Scratch’s powerful visual coding interface students will be able to create scripts that can control art assets they create with only minimal typing. A perfect starting point for learning coding, logic, and game design skills. Games students make in this activity set: Pong Flappy Bird Falling Object Catcher Students can take our Scratch courses in any order, each class is standalone with no prerequisites. Difficulty levels are set by student age rather than prior knowledge.

This class incorporates ballet, tap, and jazz technique while also encouraging self-expression and creativity. High energy music is used throughout the class to get dancers moving and having fun!

Move over Coco, Gianni, Stella, and Ralph! There are some new fashion designers in town who can't wait to share their styles. Bring your creativity and self-expression to this fun course in which students will create their very own fashion line. We'll each name our own brand and create a logo, explore styles from different designers, and learn from actual fashion experts themselves as we design our own look books. We will also come up with ad campaigns and charity collaborations! Join us for a celebration of fashion and friendship in this unique course offering. This course will conclude with a final “Fashion Show” during which families will be invited to the classroom.
