Kids Test Kitchen Summer Programs - KTK Week 1: 6/22-6/26
Kids Test KitchenOn a mission to redefine kid food; Kids’ Test Kitchen’s enthusiastic Facilitators get eaters of all ages and abilities, cooking, tasting, and thinking about healthy ingredients! Kids’ Test Kitchen presents kids the opportunity to explore new or familiar foods in their raw, unmanipulated state. Then, working as a team, they’ll slice, dice, peel, measure, and cook until they’ve prepared the finished dish. Class closes with an opportunity to taste the result of their hard work. Even the most reluctant eaters enjoy Kids’ Test Kitchen, where participation is encouraged, and the choice to taste is always one’s own.Kids have food allergies, but they shouldn’t miss out on the fun. We know allergies and can work around them, making sure that everyone is having fun and staying safe. Entering Grades 1-6WEEK 1: June 22-26WEEK 2: June 29- July 3Monday-Friday Time: 9:00am-12:00pmLocation: Freeman Kennedy School

Kids Test Kitchen Summer Programs - KTK Week 2: 6/29-7/3
Kids Test KitchenOn a mission to redefine kid food; Kids’ Test Kitchen’s enthusiastic Facilitators get eaters of all ages and abilities, cooking, tasting, and thinking about healthy ingredients! Kids’ Test Kitchen presents kids the opportunity to explore new or familiar foods in their raw, unmanipulated state. Then, working as a team, they’ll slice, dice, peel, measure, and cook until they’ve prepared the finished dish. Class closes with an opportunity to taste the result of their hard work. Even the most reluctant eaters enjoy Kids’ Test Kitchen, where participation is encouraged, and the choice to taste is always one’s own.Kids have food allergies, but they shouldn’t miss out on the fun. We know allergies and can work around them, making sure that everyone is having fun and staying safe.

Kids Test Kitchen Summer Programs - KTK Week 2: 6/29-7/3
Kids Test KitchenOn a mission to redefine kid food; Kids’ Test Kitchen’s enthusiastic Facilitators get eaters of all ages and abilities, cooking, tasting, and thinking about healthy ingredients! Kids’ Test Kitchen presents kids the opportunity to explore new or familiar foods in their raw, unmanipulated state. Then, working as a team, they’ll slice, dice, peel, measure, and cook until they’ve prepared the finished dish. Class closes with an opportunity to taste the result of their hard work. Even the most reluctant eaters enjoy Kids’ Test Kitchen, where participation is encouraged, and the choice to taste is always one’s own.Kids have food allergies, but they shouldn’t miss out on the fun. We know allergies and can work around them, making sure that everyone is having fun and staying safe. Entering Grades 1-6WEEK 1: June 22-26WEEK 2: June 29- July 3Monday-Friday Time: 9:00am-12:00pmLocation: Freeman Kennedy School

Construct 14 different solar powered robots from functional to comical designs which include a tortoise bot, bug bot, paddle bot, tumbler bot, monster bot, big wheeler bot, car bot, surfer bot, and rowing bot! Working with its motor, gears, and solar panel, watch your solar bot come to life without any batteries as it uses the power of the sun. Take part in one of the alternative energies that is used most widely across the globe. Use your own creativity, put your mind in motion, and create your own designs! Future EngineersAges 7-1212:30-3:30pm If you like to create and build things, this program is for you! Enjoy an adventure of physics, gravity, and action and take home your very own engineering kit! Through 26 model-building exercises, you’ll investigate all six classic simple machines — wheels and axles, levers, pulleys, inclined planes, screws, and wedges — as well as gears. Young researchers will gain hands-on experience with the design process and learn about various topics in the fascinating world of engineering. Come obtain the necessary skills and experience to take on the technological challenges of the future and continue your engineering journey at home!WEEK 7: Monday-Friday, 8/3-8/7Hydropower ExplorersAges 6-119:00am-12:00pmCome explore the power of water by building models and conducting experiments with your very own Hydropower kit! Embark on thrilling hands-on activities as you assemble up to 12 working experiments. Learn how different devices are used to extract useful energy, from a waterwheel in a small stream to a giant turbine in a tidal power station! Learn where the energy in oceans and rivers comes from and discover how we can generate electricity from them. Come join in this educational and hands-on hydro-powered adventure! Future ArchitectsAges 6-1112:30-3:30pmUnleash your inner architect as you work on and take home your very own Architectural Design kit! Dive into the world of building design as you construct everything from simple arches and domes to iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and the Eiffel Tower. With 20 awesome models to create, you’ll learn how real-world structures stand tall through hands-on fun! Challenge yourself as you explore architectural principles and engineering techniques, all while designing and building your very own masterpieces. As you build stadiums, skyscrapers, and even a Ferris wheel, you’ll discover the secrets behind how engineers and architects plan, design, and create the world’s most incredible structures. Ready to design and build your own towering creations? The sky’s the limit as you bring your engineering dreams to life and see the world of architecture from a whole new perspective!Sign up for both programs, bring a lunch, and stay a full day!

Circuit Makers 101/Hands-On Electronics - Hands on Electronics
CIRCUIT MAKERS 101:Ent. Gr. 1-3 Instructor: Circuit LabsWEEK 4: July 13-17 Time: 9-12pmLet’s get creative with electricity! In this junior electronics class, students will gain experience with creating their own electronics; designing custom light-up greeting cards, electric games, mazes, and even musical instruments. Each class day consists of a circuitry lesson and a hands-on electronics project, using components like lights, buzzers, switches, motors, and sensors. Circuit Lab staff will make sure participants create many projects that they can be proud of, each class day includes a take-home project.Location: Freemen Kennedy School Fee: $250________________________________________HANDS-ON ELECTRONICS:Ent. Grades 4-7 Instructor: Circuit LabsWEEK 4: July 13-17 Time: 1-4pmIn a world powered by smart technology and AI, the most innovative engineers understand how software and hardware work together. This course gives young makers that critical edge. We start by exploring the magic of electronics with simple circuits, then begin making customized programmable devices with Arduino. We will gain practice working with LEDs, speakers, a variety of sensors, and several kid-friendly programming interfaces. Each class day is a chance to design, build, and code a new hands-on project while developing a valuable skill set.Location: Freemen Kennedy School Fee: $250
