LEGO® SPIKE™ Essential Robotics: Crazy Carnival Games (K-6th) (Morning): Step right up and join the fun with Lego SPIKE Robotics: Crazy Carnival Games! In this course, children will have the opportunity to explore the exciting world of carnival games as they build and code their own attractions. From bowling and pinball machines to hockey and mini-golf, children will be able to bring their game ideas to life through hands-on projects using everyday themes. As they work on their projects, children will continue to develop their computational thinking skills, including the ability to create and follow sequences, identify cause and effect, and understand simple loops. They'll also have the chance to practice testing and debugging programs to ensure that their creations are ready for the carnival.

Spy Science: Crime Scene Investigators (K-6th) (Morning): How do detectives and investigators use science to solve a mystery? We will spend this program understanding forensic science and learning the tricks of the spy trade. We'll investigate fingerprints, spying techniques (surveillance), secret codes, invisible ink, and other sneaky science!

Canvas Art (K-6th): Grab a paintbrush and jump right in for a colorful Kids on Canvas adventure! Use acrylic paint to explore painting subjects such as the figure, landscape and still life - with a fresh Abrakadoodle twist!
