DESCRIPTION: For kids who dare to travel around the world, in space, and underwater like a maker!
Pack your DIY suitcase and travel to Japan, build zen gardens, cook sushi and noodles, go to fishing, fabricate kimonos, and indulge in Japan’s pop culture and dragons! Next session, we’ll go to Hawaii and explore volcanos, make our own volcanos with alka seltzer (science meets travel dreams!), dream of a beach and build light houses! On another day, we’ll go to a desert, laser cut models of animals that live there, plant some DIY cactuses and go on stargazing! Europe and its landmarks; North America and it’s fun bridges, amusement parks, and ski resorts; Africa and its exotic nature; Mexico and its rich culture and food; Egypt and its pyramids! We’ll explore it all as we travel around the globe, learn about countries, their capitals, currency, culture and languages they speak, build things, and showcase them to our fellow travelers!
Along the way, we’ll dream of our own country, design its flag, unique landmarks, signature dishes, exotic animals, and cool homes, and invite others to travel to our dream country! This program is a wonderful blend of geography, culture, making, and engineering skills.
