We’re sewing + dyeing fabric with vegetable peels. I’ll bring some fabric scraps + my sewing box, but we’ll need more contributions of fabric, felt, thread, + needles.

M – November 11: Vintage Kitchen Science
We’re cooking quirky recipes from generations past. Today’s dish: Tomato Soup Cupcakes, made with canned tomato soup. Yum…. Let’s also do blind tastings behind a veil of absolute secrecy!
M – November 4: Playing with Electricity!
Snap circuits + beyond, we’ll explore all the electric stem challenges we can combine! Please bring whatever you have to add. Lego SPIKE sets, electricity experiments or any type of robotics are what we’re going for today. We’ll keep the sets on several different tables, so everyone has a chance to try without combining pieces. Please be prepared to man your table + help people understand how to use/play with/explore your project/set.
M – October 28: Wizard Craft!
We’re going to start the day by eating donuts off of a string, a longstanding tradition! Please bring donuts to cover your people (one per person). It’s fun, funny + a great way to work for your breakfast – adults are encouraged to participate! We’ll set up at the little park directly across the street down the pathway and off to the right (west). We’ll have to size everyone in real time (holding a string up to their face, real fancy-like), so plan on walking across the street right away.
M – October 21: Day of Apples + Fairy Tales
Let’s celebrate National Apple Day by cutting up apples to eat together by lunchtime – or whenever your people are bored + hungry. Please bring an apple or two to cover your family. If your kids want to add caramel or cinnamon, please bring it. We’ll slice apples + leave them to share.
M – October 14: Build-a-Business Day
This morning, Erin + Tiffany will introduce the idea of famous/catchy slogans/logos + show some examples. We’ll then set up stations to let everyone create their own slogan, mission statement, and logo. We will provide some business ideas for anyone that doesn’t want to create their own or let the kids pick their business.
M – October 7: Wild Art + (Cup)cake Walk
It’s also baking time! Those who are interested can help to bake several sets of cupcakes today. We do have loads of small bakers, so we’ll probably need to bake in parent- or teen-lead groups. I’ll bring the other ingredients (oil + eggs), cupcake trays + liners.
M – September 30: 3D + Hands-On Art
We’re going to make 3D sculptures + do the shaping part today. There’s an option today to try a new technique with spray foam to quickly shape a structure, then let it dry. People can also “carve” into their foam shape to continue refining it.
September 19 @ 10a – Trial Day #2 for Tween/Teen Program
Thursdays from 10a-4p – We’re looking for Tweens/Teens aged 10+ to flesh out our current crew! Because this age group tends to be slow to warm, we’re going to run free trial days for the first two weeks of our semester. This is the last trial week. Sign up here!
M – May 6: Indoor Picnic, Yearbook + Plants
This morning, we’ll start with a game of Red Rover, then dive into today’s theme. We’ve got some seasoned LARPers + cosplay kids. We’ll see if we can find the edges between these two things + navigate an overlap? A merger? Wear/bring a costume + let’s set a scene together!
