Can a handful of marbles and gears think like a computer? In this exciting STEM course, students become engineers and inventors as they use Turing Tumble to uncover the hidden logic that drives every computer on Earth. Through hands-on puzzles and mechanical design, they’ll master binary logic, sequences, conditionals, and problem decomposition—the same skills used in computer programming. Each class blends discovery and play as students design, test, and refine their own marble-powered computers. By the end, they’ll understand not only what computers do, but how they do it.

In this exciting class, students will dive into the world of science using one of the most classic household items: the mason jar! Students will learn about the fascinating science behind everyday materials and processes, such as the water cycle, chemical reactions, and physics concepts like density and buoyancy. Through colorful experiments, students will not only build their scientific knowledge but also create cool, homemade projects they can take home and share with family and friends.

The goal of this course is learning fundamental techniques to safely and effectively create the illusion of physical conflict. Using basic physical exercises focused on actor safety, effective blocking, energy and weight transfer, and believable choreography and reactions, students will build practical skills to keep themselves and their partners safe when participating in unarmed stage combat. These will include falls, rolls, pushes, chokes, slaps, grabs, punches, kicks, blocks, and found object combat methods.

This is an unsupervised Study Hall. Please have your student bring work or something to do during this time.

This class is 2 hours long and will be worth a full credit, extending into May.

This class will offer a fresh and engaging approach, departing from the conventional art lesson. Students will not only learn fundamental concepts and techniques in art and design but also learn how to creatively express their thoughts and ideas. Through collaborative projects across various art media and other subjects, students will experience new and diverse creative endeavors. It will broaden their creative perspectives and thinking while exploring and discovering their own artistic voice. All you need is an open mind to enjoy the class.

What’s a zine? It’s more than just a mini magazine… it’s an amazing tool for self-expression, storytelling, and connection. In this class, we’ll explore the radical history of zines, study all the different forms they can take, and, best of all, create our own zines every week. Our focus is on creativity, activism, and collaboration. At the end of the course, we’ll celebrate with our own little zine fest! Whether you’re into art, poetry, politics, comics, or just want to tell your own story, this is your space.

Art in Motion is a wonderful weaving of science and art that celebrates the experience of making and invites students to explore color, texture, and movement through hands-on creative experiments. Each session focuses on freedom of expression, sensory engagement, and discovery through play! We will explore how movement affects line and texture, discover how gravity and motion work together to distribute color, and uncover the wonders of surface tension. This sensory-friendly class will help build tactile tolerance, foster sensory regulation through repetitive movement, strengthen fine-motor control, and increase breath awareness. A few of the art experiments include: - Splatter painting - Painting with pendulums - Creating marbled paper - Spin art - Clay play I invite you to come make a mess, a memory, and a masterpiece!

We will learn and work on letters/fingerspelling, numbers and basic vocabulary, as well as some short phrases, including ways to introduce ourselves and ask and answer basic questions. We will learn and practice basic grammar and facial expressions. We will also learn a little about American Sign Language including the history and when, where and why it is used.
