Join us for art-making using natural materials you can find all around us. Our focus will be on the art-making process, creativity, exploration, use of materials, and possible group collaborations. We will work with a variety of art materials in the outdoor space. Children will have opportunities for full immersion in artistic endeavors to experience the joy of the process, as well as work on specific projects if they choose. Children are welcome to take home what they make or just enjoy the process. (Plan to get messy.)
Youth Registered for this class will be introduced to Cubelets. Cubelets are modular robotics. Each individual Cubelet can perform a specific task, and when combined in various ways complex robots can be created.

Youth Registered for this class will be introduced to the concept of a Rube Goldberg Machine. - A Rube Goldberg machine is a contraption that uses a chain reaction to carry out a simple task.
