September 12th – SuperStructures Challenge During this exciting half-day workshop, participants will complete two different challenges related to building strong, stable structures. They will learn how structures are built to withstand earthquakes and other natural disasters! Come create and build the future using LEGO® bricks in Snapology's workshop. October 17th – Engineering: Gears, Pulleys, and More! Is your child inquisitive, a problem-solver, a big-thinker, a tinkerer, a puzzler, or a budding engineer? If so, then come join us for this half-day workshop, where participants will complete two engineering builds using LEGO® bricks (including technic pieces). They will learn about key engineering concepts, including gears, pulleys, and motors as they build, customize, and test different contraptions. December 12th – Holiday Robotics Workshop In our Winter Holiday Robotics program, your builder will explore the basics of robotics while building some really fantastic robots inspired by different holiday traditions! While working with a partner to complete the building instructions and debug their robot's program, your child will be taught how different mechanical components work in their robots and how programming is a challenging but rewarding skill that they can master with just a little practice. We will support them in the development of their coding and building skills and inspire them with creative building activities and information about the traditions that make winter such a special time of year! **Parent/Guardian is NOT required to stay. This is a drop-off program.

Parent/Guardian may wait outside of the classroom in the building.** Here is what they are saying about Rise Arts Collaborative's Take the Stage JR program: "The teacher and her assistant were both awesome. I love that they leaned into what the kids were craving...particularly, KPOP Demon Hunter dance parties to get their juices flowing! My daughter had her first on-stage experience thanks to this class and I'm so grateful to Jessica for having this class open to children her age. It means a lot, and she let a friend's younger sister (3) join who also got a lot out of it!" "My child is becoming more confident about speaking and performing with each session."
