New coders are welcome.

Build and tinker as you explore the basics of electricity and coding. Use real electrical components, like breadboards, LEDs, resistors, and sensors, to build creative, interactive projects. Starting with block-based coding in mBlock, you’ll write programs to control lights, play music, simulate traffic lights, and detect motion. Step by step, you’ll gain confidence using both hardware and code.

Let’s get creative with electricity! Create your own electronics, such as light-up greeting cards, electric games, mazes, and even musical instruments. Each class consists of a circuitry lesson and a hands-on electronics project using components like lights, buzzers, switches, motors, and sensors. Most class days will include a project you can take home.

Get a fun, hands-on introduction to Artificial Intelligence. Explore basic AI concepts like facial recognition, pattern detection, and machine learning using Scratch and Google’s Teachable Machine. You’ll train simple models with images, build interactive games and animations, and watch your creations respond to real-world inputs. You’ll develop skills in logic, problem-solving, and creativity while discovering how AI is shaping our world.

Step into a sparkling winter wonderland of science, because the cold never bothered us anyway! Make “frozen” slime, craft delicate six-pointed snowflakes, and create a magical indoor snowstorm. Grow shimmering frost crystals, build a snow globe that defies gravity, and design a dazzling frozen forest. Then warm up by making your own cozy hand warmers.

Ready, set, takeoff! From paper airplanes to rockets, we’ll make all sorts of flying inventions while exploring aerodynamics and how things move through the air. Make, test, and reinvent catapults, kites, parachutes, and more, as we explore the laws of physics and the forces that keep objects afloat. This class will be just “plane” fun!

Let your imagination run wild. Build projects such as trains, helicopters, and treehouses with thousands of LEGO. From building robots and engineering structures to creating simple machines and conducting experiments, this class will inspire you to look at LEGOs in a whole different way. The projects change each season, so returning builders get a fresh challenge.

Power up your engineering skills with thousands of LEGO. Merge your craziest ideas with real-world concepts in physics, construction, and industrial design through projects such as catapults, dragsters with pullback motors, pendulum rides, and deluxe buildings. Design and build as never before. The projects change each season, so returning builders get a fresh challenge.

Build a solid foundation in personalized game design as you develop unique Minecraft worlds. Embark on an exciting adventure in animation and storytelling, programming in Python and Javascript, and architecture and design. Learn the fundamentals of electrical circuitry, logic gates, multi-system mechanisms, modding, and more.

Turn simple tasks into wild chain reactions. Inspired by the zany world of Rube Goldberg, you’ll design and build machines where one thing leads to another—and another! Use marbles, ramps, and everyday objects to explore momentum, timing, gravity, and force. Embrace your inventive side and see how creative your contraptions can get.

Sharpen your observation skills and uncover the mysteries of the winter season. Analyze animal specimens, search the schoolyard to see how nature survives the cold, and conduct hands-on experiments. Who’s active in the chill, and what clues do they leave behind? Which animals snooze, or skip town, until spring? Record your discoveries in your own nature journal as you investigate weekly themes like wildlife tracking, winter insects, tree identification, hibernation, and more. Be ready to head outdoors; snowshoes will be provided when the snow is deep.

Engaging hands-on chemistry projects will encourage you to be junior scientists. Unlock the secrets of the laboratory to create customized soaps, lotions, and potions. Explore how chemists create formulas and make your own cool products to take home. Learn about chemical properties and reactions while making fizzing potions and secret solutions.

Unleash your creativity and bring your ideas to life through coding! Learn Python, one of the most popular programming languages, through the exciting world of game development. Using Pygame you’ll learn core coding concepts such as variables, loops, conditionals, and functions while designing and programming interactive games. You’ll strengthen problem-solving skills, teamwork, and logical thinking—all while having fun turning their imagination into playable projects.

Explore the world of scientific discovery as you create a lava lamp, engineer a race car, or make a ping pong ball hang in the air. You may stir up invisible ink, create a volcanic eruption, or build a Newton’s Cradle. We’ll discuss the development and application of various scientific principles and build our science vocabulary using illustrations and handouts that you can use to recreate your experiments at home.

Discover how science can ignite your imagination and fuel your artistic side. Explore force and motion with spin art, harness the sun for solar prints and color-changing bracelets, mix colors for rainbow-inspired art, and experiment with states of matter as you make oobleck. Science can be beautiful!

Get ready to mix, bubble, build, and explore with hands-on science experiments that spark your curiosity and creativity. You’ll make slime to learn about states of matter, build mini-volcanoes, launch paper rockets, test what sinks or floats, create simple circuits, make rainbow celery, explore the magic of magnets, and more. Ready, set, experiment!

The Minecraft world needs heroes! Learn coding fundamentals as you create superheroes with unique abilities to tackle exciting challenges. Travel to a ruined city, explore a frozen bunker, defend the White House, and more while putting your coding skills to the test. Each class offers a fresh adventure and a new opportunity to save the Minecraft world.

Creative thinking meets engineering in this makerspace class. Explore gravity, momentum, and clever design as you build inventive contraptions. Projects include parachute drops, 3D illusions, roller coaster rides, and more, each designed to challenge your problem-solving and ignite your creativity.
