Inspired by Native science and technology, Exploring Art + Technology Labs are hands-on workshops focused on Indigenous innovations. Join us in the new imagiNATIONS Activity Center every first and third Saturday of the month to tinker, make, learn, and create! Inspired by the exhibition Transformer: Native Art in Light and Sound, workshops explore the intersection of art, science, and technology through hands-on, experimental activities. Projects align with STEAM approaches to learning.
Andean-American artist Aymar Ccopacatty (Aymara) has made textile artwork from recycled plastic and other materials since plastic invaded his family’s small community on Lake Titicaca, Peru in the late 1990s. This series of Labs explores various Andean textile techniques such as warp-faced weaving (Sawuña), braiding (Qanaña), spinning (Qapuña), and twisting (Mismiña), while using recycled plastic and found objects. Gain knowledge in the art of weaving, while inspiring reflection on our big global plastic problem!

A world of adventure is awaiting your child!
Our teachers transform the city into a place of wonder and learning. Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics are infused into everything that we do. Every lesson, field trip and/or art project is designed to inspire learning and development as your child explores the wonders of the city under the watchful eye of our trained professionals, they will also learn and grow as tiny humans exploring the world before them.
Our STEAM Summer Camp is an interactive, fun-filled program for older toddlers and preschoolers. Due to the level of mobility and focus required, we are only able to offer admission to potty trained toddlers and preschoolers ages 3 and up. Meals are included in the monthly rate and the option to add kindergarten test prep and skill building tutoring into your child’s daily flow is available, which is really advantageous for those transitioning older preschoolers.
