Berkeley Chess
Chess Challenge! If you are new to chess or polishing your
skills, come develop your understanding and enjoyment of the king of games! Lessons and play combine the skills of thinking and creativity with the thrill of sport. Classes include 20 minutes of instruction and 40 minutes of play. Boards and sets are provided, and all levels are welcome." Light and Energy: Learn about electricity; make indoor lightning and conduct hair-raising experiments with an electrostatic generator. Discover the light properties of colors, holograms, and special effects. Understand the unique properties of heat! Learn about the power of lasers, watch inner workings of hand powered flashlights, and use a prism to separate the wavelengths of light. Make a key chain that shrinks in the oven and take home glasses that turn lights into rainbows!
Gymnastics:
Our Specialty, focuses on building body-confidence, coordination, motor skills, strength, and flexibility as well as love of moving that will endure through to adulthood. Each class begins with a warm-up, incorporating age-appropriate songs and imagination games to make the exercises interesting and engaging. This builds flexibility, conditions
strength, and prepares delicate wrists, backs, and necks for more rigorous activity. The second section of class focuses on age appropriate tumbling passes and movement
exploration that builds integrated strength and coordination for more advanced tumbling and inverted work. The class ends with instruction on various gymnastics apparatus; a new piece of equipment is introduced each week. |
Engineering FUNdamentals
Design and build motorized machines, catapults, pyramids, demolition derby cars, truss and suspension bridges, buildings, and other constructions. Explore concepts in physics, mechanical engineering, structural engineering, and architecture while playing with your favorite creations. This is a hands-on and minds-on class suitable for LEGO® building system novices to "maniacs." Returning students will work on new projects and challenges.
Creative Movement:
A wonderful way for a child to explore their physicality and develop individuality
through self-expressive movement. Each class begins with an age appropriate warm-up and dance technique lesson. Then the class shifts to an exploration, using music, poems, images, props, and expressive movement techniques that translate ideas into the body.
As the session progresses children will learn basic choreography and older children will also learn combinations and dance routines.
Native Bird Connections:
This 8 week program offers children the opportunity to learn about birds and how to identify them especially those found right here in Alameda. Kids will bird watch using spotting scopes and binocular, interact with live, non-releasable wild birds like theWestern Screech Owl, create bird journals, and a new craft project to help the birds in their neighborhood along with receiving their very own Native Bird canvas bag to decorate. For those kids who have taken this class before, they can substitute a Bird Field guide for the canvas bag. A wonderful environmental class for kids to enjoy! |
Childrens Art Studio w/ JaYing Wang
Each week, students work with a variety of media to produce dazzling artwork that they and their parents will be proud to display. Art projects may include glass mosaics, wire/clay sculpture, acrylic painting, watercolor painting, and more.
