Afterschool Programs
Chess, Coding, Robotics, Legos
Chess
Chess is a great metaphor for life. A student learns patience, critical thinking skills and sportsmanship.
Children new to chess will start playing “pawn wars” where we only play with pawns. Once they feel more comfortable, we add knights, bishops and eventually all the pieces.
After our class children will become more comfortable and confident to play chess with anyone.
Coding
Coding opens countless doors for a child’s future. We will go from simple projects with different characters working independently, to connecting characters with complex actions.
Your child will also get to apply their artistic skills to create their own sprites, tell stories, and, best of all, learn to love coding!
Robotics
This is an introductory-level, hands-on course where students will learn to build and program real-life, simple robotic actions using a programmable EV3 Brick (created at the MIT Media Lab), motors, and a variety of robotic sensors: ultrasonic, sound, light, and touch.
Students learn how to work in teams, increasing communication and critical thinking skills. All while learning and designing from scratch!
Legos
Children of all ages love to build and create. This class teaches teamwork, patience and how to go from an idea to execution.
We have multiple stations that allows students to learn organically. One station helps students build a plane, train or animal. Another station is a “build your own” station allows a child to make an original creation. We even have a drone station.
