Young students can get creative with this hands on crafts course. We will get out all the fun (and messy!) art things that you don’t want to get out at home.

In this hands-on engineering class, students will use bricks to explore how the world works through building and experimentation. Each week, learners construct models that introduce real STEM concepts such as force, motion, friction, energy, and simple machines. Students test their builds, make predictions, solve challenges, and learn to think like young engineers. Perfect for brick builders who love to explore how things work!  All ages are welcome.

Please note – there is no programming / coding in this series.

Learn beginner sewing techniques with Miss Mimi! This is for students with an interest in sewing but do not have any previous experience.

Join us for a delightful blend of reading adventures and tasty treats. This class is every kid‘s dream! Each week will dive into an engaging picture book (example: space, animals, friendship) and follow it up with a coordinated snack and sometimes a simple craft or activity. This is a great way to make stories more hands-on and interactive while socializing with friends. This class is designed to foster a love for reading and provide a fun, social environment for young learners.

Students will explore engineering and coding using the LEGO WeDo system. Each week, learners build motorized LEGO models and use block-based coding to make the models move, react, and solve challenges. We’ll work with motors, sensors, and simple machines while strengthening creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

Perfect for curious builders—no experience needed! Perfect for ages 5-11

Lego Builders class, where imagination meets hands-on fun! Young builders will explore the endless possibilities of Lego bricks as they design, build, and invent their own creations each week. Students will learn basic building techniques, experiment with color and structure, and solve fun engineering challenges like building the tallest tower, designing a speedy LEGO vehicle, or creating a tiny town with their friends. They’ll also have the chance to work together on group builds, helping them practice teamwork and communication while bringing big ideas to life.

In this course, everyone will come together to create, rehearse and perform a “shadow tableau” presentation of The Easter Story. The performance will be a combination of shadow play / puppetry, and tableau style drama. Roles will be found for everyone: tableau actors, props, sound effects, lighting, writing, narration, music, and direction.

We will perform our version of The Easter Story at a showcase event at the end of the semester on April 11 to raise funds for the co-op. Because this class is part of a fundraiser, there will be no charge to participate.

Pre-K and K students can join this class with as long as a parent attends the class with them.
