SPRING/SUMMER 2024

 

Spring/Summer 2024 In addition to all other topics, specialized Spring and Summer-themed classes are available! Contact claudiae@cool-ology.com for bookings.

LIBRARIES! In addition to the many topics available, the following are perfect for integrating with stories!

Engineering Design Challenges make wonderful library STEAM activities! These open-ended challenges enable children to use their creative and critical thinking skills to come up with practical solutions to interesting problems.

Artists and Makers Series Art and science meet in these fast-paced, creative classes. Participants who love to draw, paint, dance, craft, and tell stories will love using science to make art!

Story Time STEAM Participants use STEAM to craft, tell, and share their own stories in innovative ways- combining science, art, and engineering. The process can be magical, transformative, confidence-building, and a lot of fun!

Biomes Investigations takes on a multicultural perspective based on the topography, plants, and animals that live around the world.
