Cartooning Class
Community Center255 Briargate RoadCary, IL 60013This fall, we’ll go topsy-turvy for our cartoon lessons. Eating asparagus may not sound appetizing to some, but in a Young Rembrandts classroom, it’ll make for a fun and silly drawing. The never-ending rivalry rages on as the cats and dogs go at it again in the month of September. Develop a different and more expressive appreciation for vegetables as we draw veggie expressions in October. In November, weirder means better as we draw unusual pets. We’ll draw these (and many more exciting lessons!) while we enhance the creative and critical thinking skills today’s students need-both in the classroom and in the life-long learning process.

Learn to Code
N/A
Learn to Code
Students learn programming essentials using MIT’s Scratch coding language using a simple visual interface. A multilevel curriculum starts with children learning the basics of programming. Students program interactive media projects, such as stories, games, and animations. The activities encourage exploration of key computational thinking concepts (sequence, loops, parallelism, events, conditionals, operators, data) and key computational thinking practices (experimenting and iterating, testing and debugging, reusing and remixing, abstracting and modularizing). Since this class is a multilevel program where children are placed based on skill and experience, students can repeat this class as they start where they left off from the last class. Students should be familiar with using a computer. Each student needs a computer connected to the internet for this online class. Day and time will be arranged with parent and staff after registration.
