Engage your child’s curiosity and grow their love for learning. In this class we will focus on growing their love of reading, understanding of math concepts and learn to be a good global citizen by learning some basic geography.
Early Math Games - W1
with Melissa Platero
Ages: 4 - 7
Did you know that you can learn basic math skills while playing games? In this class we will play board games, card games, dice games, grid games, and mapping games. We will also create our own board games to take home.
Great Stories in Graphic Novels - W1

I Love 2D! - W1
with Claude Mouton
Ages: 15 - 18
2D animation is an art form that has mostly left the silver screen, but not our minds nor our TVs! Come along and learn the basic principles of 2D animation in the original pencil and paper style, from the bouncing ball all the way to making a character walk and talk. We will talk about the greats of the medium, the lesser known folks, and what makes it so very special as a form of art and storytelling.
It's about time (continuation, and open to new students) - W1
with Greg Corona
Ages: 13 - 18
Where did everything come from, and how did we get here? In this discussion-based exploration of science and discovery, students will trace the grand story of the universe from the Big Bang to the rise of modern humanity. We’ll explore the fundamental principles that shape existence: relativity, quantum theory, star and planetary formation, geological time, and human evolution. Along the way, we’ll examine how these fields connect; how matter became stars, stars forged the elements, planets formed from cosmic dust, and life emerged and evolved on Earth. Students will also engage with the philosophical and scientific questions that orbit these topics: What does time mean? How do we know what we know? What mysteries still remain at the edge of human understanding? This course invites curiosity and conversation rather than memorization. By the end of the semester, students will understand the science behind the story of everything, and interconnectedness of the cosmos and our place within it.
KinderBot Robotics - W1
with Snapology of Chapel Hill & Holly Springs
Ages: 4 - 6
Children will begin to explore the world of robotics as they build simple models that teach the fundamentals of robotic design. Whether learning about sensors while building drills and magic wands, or discovering ways that gears and pulleys create movement while building helicopters and robotic dogs, your child is sure to have a great time.
Mind–Body Medicine and Stress Management - W1
with Beck Fahey
Ages: 12 - 18
This course explores the powerful connection between the mind and body, teaching students how to manage stress, improve mental well-being, and enhance overall health through evidence-based practices. Students examine the science behind mind–body medicine, including how stress affects the nervous and immune systems, while learning techniques such as meditation, breathwork, progressive muscle relaxation, and gentle movement like yoga or tai chi. Emphasizing experiential learning, the course encourages self-awareness, resilience, and emotional balance. Through guided meditations, breathing exercises, mindful movement, and reflective journaling, students gain practical tools for relaxation and focus. Activities such as mindful art, nature walks, and peer coaching circles foster connection, creativity, and empathy. By blending scientific understanding with hands-on experience, this course helps students develop lifelong skills to support emotional regulation, reduce stress, and promote holistic wellness.
