Lego Challenges
Instructor: Right Brain Curriculum
Get Your Lego Game On! Are you a Lego master? If so, it’s time to show off your skills! Each week in Lego Adventures, there is a new challenge to build: From skyscrapers to farms, bridges to airports, space stations to main streets, and everything in between! First, our Right Brain Curriculum instructors will review the history of what we are about to build: How airports graduated from landing strips to vast travel networks, how Depression-era farms survived hordes of grasshoppers, how aeroelasticity explains why the Tacoma bridge nicknamed “Galloping Gertie” collapsed. Then, it’s time to build! You will create a model of each type of structure out of an enormous assortment of provided Legos, then present your creation as we photograph and document it. Learning and Legos: A perfect match!

Bob Ross Painting Show
Instructor: CinemaKidz
All you need to paint is a few tools, a little instruction, and a vision in your mind.” ― Bob Ross.

The class begins with learning and practicing fun painting techniques with friends, using a variety of tempera and watercolor paints, various brushes, a tabletop wooden easel and several canvases. Once kidz have some painting skills down, participants will move on to planning their tv persona and the concept of their very own painting and art show. Every student will receive a custom painting kit including a fun costume element. Kids will film and edit their show(s), and explore both hands-on art as well as media and technology elements.
