Class Description

Our elementary Mini Maker program focuses on hands-on activities that can range from simple crafts to building structures with various materials. Children are challenged to build, make, tape, cut and play as they create and they design their own awesome creations. Throughout the year we will complete Mini Maker Units, where we focus on one area of making for multiple sessions. Our Mini Maker Units include paper, cardboard, textiles, wood, coding and electronics. We end with one or two larger projects that require the students to use all of the making skills they've learned to solve an Adventure Challenge. In between Mini Maker Units, we'll have fun creating seasonal and holiday themed crafts.

Our typical daily schedule for our 2-day Tuesday & Thursday morning program is below. Our afternoon program will also follow the same format. The 1-day Wednesday program follows the same format but allows for a longer project time:

9:30 - 9:40: arrive, free play and chat

9:40 - 9:50: clean up, announcements & sharing good things

9:50 - 11:00: read aloud and project time

11:00 - 11:15: bathroom and snack break

11:15 - 11:25: class game; pack up

11:30: Pick up

Requirements

All students who love to craft, make and create will love this program! They will need to bring their own snack, water bottle, and independent work in a backpack each time.
