STEAM FUN!

STEAM FUN is a science innovation program for children aged 6 and above. We focus on innovation and real-world application. We encourage students to create and innovate with common household materials, such as cardboard, wooden blocks, and recycled materials. This original “start from scratch” approach allows kids to truly understand the science behind complex structures and also empowers kids to invent freely with any materials available, fostering their imagination to its fullest. Each hands-on class is 90 minutes long and begins with an intriguing science magical show, followed by experiments and group activities to reveal the science behind the magic. Students then have 50 minutes to apply their knowledge, combining science with other subjects like engineering, math, and art to create innovative projects such as air-powered balloon cars, animal circus balance toys, electromagnet-powered animations, cup-made dancing robots, and fast-growing microgreen gardens. These innovation projects extend the school’s K-6 science curriculum and provide kids with valuable real-world application opportunities, making kids feel that science is relevant and fun in their everyday life!

Digital Arts

Welcome to Honey Bee — Digital Art Classes, where young artists will embark on a digital adventure, exploring the limitless possibilities of creativity! Over the course of 8 weeks, students will delve into the exciting realm of digital art using the Procreate app. Taught by animator, illustrator and Rhode Island School of Design graduand Ana Melida Olivo, participants in this class will be introduced to basic art techniques, which are the building blocks that will provide a solid foundation for future art lovers and artists.

Grade K-1

      Level 1 students will learn how to draw, paint, and craft—all from the mess-free comfort of their iPads. Students will learn the basics of Procreate, following the teacher in a step-by-step method that allows the child to see projects take shape from beginning to end.

Grade 2-5

    Level 2 students will learn the basics of Procreate, unleashing their imagination and developing essential artistic skills. Through engaging projects, we will dive into mark-making, color theory, and shape theory through step-by-step instructions on how to create masterpieces on their iPads.

Your child will not only develop technical skills in Procreate but also gain a deeper appreciation for the endless possibilities that digital art offers. Join us to create, collaborate, and celebrate the boundless imagination of our young artists!
