Let’s Create: Loose Parts Play Weekly Meet Up!
Students have a weekly challenge, and use materials from home to plan, build, create and share with the class. Is it art? Is it S.T.E.M.? Yes, to both! This class is an exercise in creativity where the options and materials are endless!

How does an “Ongoing” course work?
Meets on a weekly schedule, join any week, no need to catch up on previous material
Live video chats, recorded and monitored for safety and quality
Discussions via classroom forum and private messages with the teacher
Automatic payment every Sunday, cancel any time
Great for clubs and for practicing skills
