Sewing the future with Wearables (Ages 9-14) - Marrying tradition and technology, the art of sewing with technology driven designs! Wearable technology, or wearables, are clothing and accessories incorporating computer and electronic technologies, like light up sneakers or an activity tracker. Designs often incorporate working functions and features, but may also purely exist for fun or art! In this enrollments students will first learn how to sew, producing items by hand and with sewing machines. Then students create their own digital wearable to take home and enjoy! Make a scarf that changes colors, or a hat that tells the temperature!

Robots for Kids (Ages 7-9) - Robotics for beginners and beyond, this workshop features Ozobots, Cubelets and Dash & Dot Robots. According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, English may be a global language, but it's more important to learn how to code!

Creating products that will be used in real life applications requires proper planning, measurement, prototyping and testing, and learning from mistakes to make the product perfect. It's amazing for students to build on key STEM skills and experience the process of envisioning a product, designing and creating it, and then physically holding it in their hands weeks later! This enrollment is for both beginners and experienced 3D designers.
