This format utilizes modified tennis balls, smaller racquets and court dimensions to provide a successful learning experience and lots of fun for players 6-10 years old. Progression is from red, orange, green to yellow (adult) balls. Ball, racquet and court transitions are based on a natural progression in technique, skill, athleticism, and age. Because each child matures differently, it is important to realize children of the same age and differing abilities may move fluidly between colored ball types (red to orange OR orange to red) based on their successes and need to improve individual specific tennis skill techniques such as serves, forehand and backhand.

Information that explains the program and what materials can go in bins has been mailed to households who have curbside recycling. This program will help to identify problems at the source, educate our community, and hopefully, increase participation by lessening confusion and contamination. THE STREET”

This series of fun classes uses the Scratch Junior platform, developed by the same MIT team that built the Scratch. While building interactive stories and games, your child will be introduced to the basics of coding concepts, problem-solving, and most importantly, creativity! The series will go from simple projects with different characters working independently to connecting characters with complex actions. Your child will also get to apply their artistic skills to create their own characters, tell stories and share their math and science knowledge. Must have an iPad or Android Tablet. Level: Beginner.
Does your child enjoy playing Minecraft? Minecraft: Education Edition is built on top of the regular Minecraft game and includes additional features to teach kids coding and other STEM skills. It promotes creativity, collaboration and problem-solving in an immersive environment, where the only limit is imagination. We start by introducing kids to the very basic concepts of stacking commands together to make computers accomplish tasks - the fundamentals of coding. Kids will control agents to solve puzzles while interacting with different in-game characters. We will then move on to learn core coding concepts such as loop, operations, conditional, events, function, variables, and more. As students get more comfortable with these coding skills, they will also start building more complex structures as well as mini games through coding. Level: Intermediate. For students who are new to coding, we recommend taking Scratch Ninja 1 & 2 first before this class.

Students take a deeper dive into coding using Python. Students will transition from block coding to text-based coding. They will learn fundamental Python skills as they build creative stories, animations and games. Basic topics will include using Python syntax, variables, loops, functions and built-in data structures. In these classes, students will begin using Python for AI and data science. They will explore more advanced elements of Python, such as dictionaries and files, and learn how to employ Python’s powerful modules to build games, stories and real-world data projects. #
