Fuller Lodge Art Center
We are collaborating with Fuller Lodge Art Center to offer some variety for our full week students. We will have 10 slots available to allow our kids to go make art at Fuller every Wednesday and for some Fuller kids to come play at STEAM Lab. This is available on a first come, first served basis, though if it proves popular for both programs we may free up additional slots.
If you are signing your child up for this exchange then it is for every Wednesday until you switch their enrollment and not something that can be opted into and out of on a weekly basis. You will need to fill out registration paperwork and emergency information with Fuller Lodge Art Center.
We are piloting this program in the Fall and cannot guarantee its continuation in the Spring.
Themes
These are still a little bit of a work in progress since Fall is a looooong time away. Regardless of the theme and activities for the day we will always allow access to our magna-tiles, marble runs, Lego, board games, and craft supplies for kiddos who just want to play.
Monday – Digital Art
We’ll play uses procreate with apple pencils, learn to make vector graphics in Inkscape, and play around with all sorts of digital design. We’ll have simpler projects for those newer to this art form as well!
Tuesday – Circuits and Stuff
We’ll pull out the snap circuits, micro:bits, scrappy circuits, and more to learn about how circuits work.
Wednesday – Trains
We’ll pull out all of our Duplo trains and build tracks all over the floor. Once a month or so, we’ll step it up by adding coding elements that control the trains and switches.
Thursday – Minecraft and Mario Kart
We’ll get kiddos together to play Minecraft! This time they will play together on the Hive (a public server) or locally in their own worlds. We’ll also run the occasional Mario Kart tourney or play something else on the Switch.
Friday – All Things Coding
All of our coding activities have moved back to Friday! Beginning Coding, Robots, Game Design, everything! We have plenty of activities for emerging readers all the way through experienced coders.
Transportation
We cannot usually provide after-school transportation. However, many of our kiddos (including the occasional counselor) take Atomic City Transit after school. The bus takes them directly from school to a stop outside Fuller Lodge. From there they have a single crosswalk in the business park to cross. We are always happy to connect interested families from the same schools with each other to make transportation easier.
