March Break programs - Register Now!

1. Marvelous Maker
March Break!
Maker Culture is a twist on the DIY (Do It Yourself) craze that has taken the country by storm. Often
Maker Culture refers to high tech gizmos and gadgets, but it can also include homemade and
home-grown projects. The real basis of Maker Culture is to test the limits of your creativity, learn by
doing and engage in hands-on projects.
We have lots of fun, exciting things in store for kids of all ages. We look forward to seeing you!
