Chaotic Chemistry - R3
with Lauren Walker
Ages: 7 - 11
Fizzing. Sculpting. Squishing. Bubbling. Popping. Learning. Let's do this! Chaotic Chemistry is a hands-on, sensory-friendly class designed to help students explore science concepts through fun, tactile experiments. Each week features a new project emphasizing curiosity, observation, and play-based learning. We will explore states of matter, chemical reactions, density and buoyancy, surface tension, polymers and more! Some of the experiments include: - Make your own slime - DIY lava lamps - Build a volcano (aka the bread and butter of every science fair) - Elephant toothpaste - Exploding colors - Mentos rockets Yeah. You're gonna want to wear some goggles for this.
Craft Hour with Tea and Biscuits - R3
with Beck Fahey
Ages: 12 - 18
Craft Hour with Tea and Biscuits is a cozy, creative gathering where students can relax, socialize, and express themselves artistically while enjoying soothing herbal teas and gluten-free pastries from the baking class. Whether crocheting, painting, drawing, or simply unwinding with friends, participants are invited to slow down, share stories, and nurture their creativity in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Each session offers simple project ideas like crochet squares, fingerless gloves, watercolor sketches, or mandala drawings, along with thoughtful tea and biscuit pairings such as chamomile with lemon almond biscuits or peppermint with cinnamon-spiced cookies. Blending art, conversation, and comfort, this class provides a peaceful space to recharge and connect over crafts, community, and a comforting cup of tea.
Geography - R3
with Melissa Platero
Ages: 8 - 10
In this class we will learn about the Earth and its features. We will learn about maps and globes, the directions, continents and oceans, hemispheres, landforms and bodies of water, human-environment interaction, movement, and regions using the five themes of geography.
Intermediate/Advanced ASL for Teens - R3
with Audra Eckes
Ages: 13 - 19
We will review handshapes, letters/fingerspelling, numbers and basic vocabulary, as well as basic grammar, including facial expressions. We will focus on expanding vocabulary, describing people, objects and experiences, asking and answering questions, as well as phrases and sentences. We will also review and expand our knowledge about the history of ASL and Deaf culture. *Students need to have had recent prior instruction in ASL. If not sure about placement, please contact Stacy and ask to be put in touch with me.

Intro to Poetry Slam - R3
with Stephenie Stevens
Ages: 13 - 18
In this creative class, we will work on selecting and perfecting student written poetry, the elements of good poetry performance, and finalize by practicing competition form. Look for our demonstration at the Spring showcase! Can be chosen to receive 1/2 transcript credit in Performing Arts or general elective with a letter grade.
Marble Logic: The Physics of Thinking Machines - R3
with Greg Corona
Ages: 11 - 18
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.

Mason Jar Science - R3
with Rachel Pantke
Ages: 7 - 11
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.
Stage Combat - R3
with Tony Pender
Ages: 12 - 18
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.
