Participants will enjoy the wonderful teachers and activities in woodworking, imaginative play, and studio art stations. The magic begins in the Beehive building, and our time together is flexible for exploring and playing on Catlin Gabel's beautiful 67-acre campus. Dive into the imaginative, process-oriented world of play through stories, songs, art, and games. Construct with an open-ended use of mixed media both inside the classrooms and outside under the trees. We will make art using lots of cardboard, tape, scissors, glue, paint, fabric, feathers, and clay. Everyone will build in the woodshop with real hand-powered tools, take apart electronics, and rebuild their own 3-D inventions. We'll also have fun with familiar activities such as running through sprinklers on hot days, making snacks with delicious recipes, and constructing environments in the sandbox. We'll gather each day to enjoy friendship, stories, and a lunch from home. Each session will include exploration, experimentation, and creation. Come learn, play, and have fun with us!

Leader: Debby Dodds | email: debby@debbydodds.com

Writing can be fun! This class is for both those who love to write and those who are intimidated by writing but want to improve in a supportive atmosphere. All students who sign up should love reading and want to learn about writing. It’s definitely not a class in which we’ll sit still all day. We focus on content and creativity not grammar or “strict rules.” Each session, we will have many different kinds of writing exercises, including using everything from Improv Comedy games to fun field trips to interesting places to inspire us! In past classes, we’ve created graphic novels, had visits from famous authors both live and via Skype, and written stories based on our visits to cemeteries, libraries, and Pioneer Square. One summer we were even lucky enough to be on TV talking about writing. We use all of our senses to explore creative nonfiction, genre fiction (fantasy, romance, sci-fi, etc.), poetry, and the short story. We’ll also discuss publications that accept submissions from young writers. Debby is an impressive published author, and you can read about her here: http://www.powells.com/post/lists/best-ya-books-of-2017

We’ll also compete in a one-day crash “mission to mars” where you’ll develop a set of solutions to address challenges unlike anything you’ve seen. All this will culminate in an "Invention Convention" the last day open to family and friends. Students should come prepared with some ideas they want to pursue and a desire to learn about engineering and programming -- it's not a Lego free-for-all! It's open to students of all experience levels and is self-paced. Sessions are held in Catlin Gabel's dedicated robotics lab with free access to over 60,000 Lego parts. Unlike some other programs, every student will get the use of their own robot and computer, but they are free to work in groups if they prefer. Join us this summer for an inspiring personalized engineering experience!
