Our program teaches participants how to draw manga, anime and cartoon style themes and techniques. Participants will learn the Japanese culture through fun crafts, activities, and games.

Where young imaginations can soar in the enchanting world of Pokémon & storytelling! In this creative movie making workshop, kids will delve into the art of storytelling, drawing inspiration from their favorite Pokémon characters and class gameplay. Participants will explore how to craft their own Pokémon tales, from epic journeys to heartwarming friendships, as we start each class with a Pokemon card game that inspires the story we build. They'll brainstorm creative plots, develop original characters, and even build their very own Pokémon teams! The young filmmakers will bring their favorite Pokémon to life, as they immerse themselves in the captivating world of film production and special effects. Kids will design costumes and film a short narrative that blends hand drawn and animated settings and backgrounds with live-action performances and exhilarating special effect power-ups added in post-production! The course will culminate in an extraordinary mixed-media video project to share with family and friends!

It takes years of practice, determination, patience, and dedication to become a Lego Master Builder. Your child is in luck though because we have worked tirelessly to perfect our Lego teaching technique – so much so that within six short weeks, your child will receive a certificate proving that they have completed their Master Builder Jr. training! Come join us as we explore and create our wildest imaginations. We will also re-create some real-world buildings, landscapes, feats of engineering, and Wonders of the World!

We supply all Lego blocks and building guides for classes, but there will also be some time for free building during our classes if your child wants to bring in their own project.
