This Class (for 5-17 year old’s) is from 5 pm – 6 pm every Thursday.
It is conducted by University of Michigan technology students and is available to all members as well as members of the Community. Students are taught basic Coding skills, including utilizing Roblox & Game Design.
Our Arts program first began in 2015 and has been expanding ever since. Lessons are taught by volunteer students, including Fine Arts majors in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, English and Creative Writing majors, hobby designers and writers. There is a very low student/U of M teacher ratio. Lessons are split into three parts: Coding, Arts and Creative Writing. Art projects include both 2D and 3D mediums, from acrylic and watercolor painting to clay and fabric weaving. Creative writing teaches both prose and poetry, focusing on activities that are fun, engaging, and educational for students of all reading and writing skill levels. (Both Art and Creative Writing are in person at Conant Avenue UM Church from Sept. to Dec. and Jan. to June. Students will also be taught basic Coding skills in a virtual program (Coming in Fall of 2023, Coding will also be in-person at Conant.)
The program is taught weekly in the fall term (September to December) and winter term (January to April). At the end of each term, students display their art, writing, and coding, assembled in a gallery for parents, family, and community members, showcasing the skills they have learned throughout the semester. New students make name tags before the start of the Creative Writing and Arts session on Fridays from 5-6:30 pm.
If your students are curious about computers, love video games, or are interested in anything technology related, we would love to have them in our classes! In class we will cover the foundations of computer science, while solving puzzles and building our own games and art with code!
To attend this class, Parents must complete a Registration Form, and sign a Consent, Release, & Waiver agreement.
Starting in the next school year (September 29, 2023), we will be having classes in-person at Conant, with a bus to pick up students in the area to take them to and from Conant UMC on Fridays. We will also have on-line classes on Thursdays from 5pm-6pm.
