Imagination and innovation come together in this exciting camp! Learn how to build a unique LEGO® NXT robot. Discover how it works and how to program your robot to perform different operations. Students will work individually and in teams to design and create a functioning robot. Then they will watch it come to life!  Taught by Joe Agabiti. (Please note our morning class starting July 14 for kids ages 8-10 is full.)

Mythical Beasts
Ages 11 – 15; 1 to 4 PM; starts July 7

Painting: Pushing the Limits
Ages 16 and up; Wednesdays 7 to 9:30 PM; starting July 9
Not your conventional painting class! Challenging traditional notions of painting, this class ignores the usual “rules” of painting and gives imaginations a chance to soar. Work in oils, acrylics and mixed media.
