Fall Programming 2022

We’ve got a lot going on this fall!

After School Classes

Our biggest program is our after school classes. They’ve rolled in our clubs, so kids can come for once a week enrichment or have something new to do each day.

Mondays: Trains (play with duplo, wooden, and plastic tracks and build trains)
Tuesdays: Crafts (weekly crafts and monthly lessons with an art teacher)
Wednesday: Free Play (Playground, Lego, Gravitrax, Magnatiles, etc.)
Thursday: Minecraft (play on our local creative and survival servers)
Friday: Programming (program in a variety of languages based on skill-level)

We’re also offering single day drop-in for folks who need something for their kids to do in a pinch and since our regular programming doesn’t start until August 29th, we’ve add two Wednesdays in August to the offerings as well.

Clubs and Meetups

Anime and Manga Club is a club for middle and high school students. It will meet twice a month on Thursdays from 6:30 – 8:00. Attendees will watch anime, read manga, chat about their favorite characters, and draw their own stories.

ASL Meetup is a monthly meetup on Tuesdays from 6 – 7:30 for all ages and skill levels to learn and practice American Sign Language. This meetup is facilitate by two qualified teachers fluent in ASL.

Scrabble Club meets weekly on Fridays from 4:30 – 5:30 and is for kids grades 3rd – 8th who want to learn Scrabble or improve their skills.

More

Lego Robotics Challenge Days happen two Saturdays a month for kids who can read sight words through 8th grade. Kids will team up to build attachments and program their robots to complete a new challenge each week. More weeks will be added (including possible homeschool times) if interest warrants it.

Drop-Ins are returning in September on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Kids (and their adults) can come play with all of the Lego, Magnatile, Gravitrax, Board Games, and more. We have something fun for kids aged 18mo through Middle and even High School.

School Break Camps are listed for days where LAPS elementary schools are out while LANL is not. As a bonus this year, we are partnering with Bankens Mountain Martial Arts to offer some Jiu Jitsu style fun and games as an optional add-on.

Coding Club and World Robot Olympiad

We’d like to continue our coding club one morning a week over the summer. We’re currently working on scheduling this, so again, let us know if you are interested.

EDIT: We added it here: Coding Club-Summer Edition

We’re also working on mentoring a few World Robot Olympiad teams this summer. This is similar to US First Lego League, but with smaller teams and no research portion. We’re having an info session on Sunday, May 1st at 12:30. Sign up here: https://lasteamlab.com/shop/world-robotics-olympiad-exploratory-session/

EDIT: We added it here: WRO – 2022 Season

American Sign Language

We’re planning an all ages ASL class this summer. This won’t be baby sign, but rather a full-fledged language class encompassing grammar and nuance. Let us know if you’d like to be kept up to date on this class.

EDIT: We added it here: Beginning ASL

Toddler and PreK Playtime

We’re currently hosting toddler playtime. We plan on continuing that through summer and expanding it to include 3 and 4yos as well.

Next Fall

We also have our after school programming set up for next fall for those who really like to plan ahead. https://lasteamlab.com/shop/steam-lab-after-school-2022/
