We will start our fun filled journey reading “Scrambled States of America” and create hot air balloons to use for our travels.  We will travel to Alaska and read “Balto” and learn about the Iditarod dog races, and in Louisiana we will learn about Cajun food and culture and make an Alligator craft. Heading to New York, we will read “Millie and the Macy’s Day Parade” and make a mini parade float, and in Tennessee we will make duck marionettes after reading “ John Phillip Duck”. Our adventure will end in Hawaii where we will learn to Hula dance in our homemade leis. Don’t miss out on your change to travel the USA without leaving Root!

TEK Art Club

STEMtastic Scientists-Exploring STEM through Stories
Grades K-3
Do you love science and literature? How about hands-on science fun? Then this is the club for you. Each week we will be exploring STEM through exciting books and then completing a hands-on, STEM based project. We will be building parachutes to escape from a giant, engineering balloon powered cars to see who can win the race, testing catapults to see who can hit the target and much more! Join us as we read, explore and create through books and science!
 
Dashing Around the 4 C’s Lab
Grades 1-4
Are you ready to learn how to use and program Dash Robots? In this fun filled club, we will use apps specially designed for the robots. Each week, student groups will be provided a different challenge for their robots to compete in. For example, the students might be given an obstacle course that they have to program their Dash robots to navigate through. The challenges will build on each other and become more demanding as the students become more proficient with their programming skills. Join us as we “Dash” around the 4”C’s lab with our robots!
 
Game On “Unplugged”
Grades 1-5
Come and learn how to play exciting games that require you to use strategy skills, and not just luck. Each week we will learn the rules and strategies for games like Chess, Checkers, Scrabble, Mastermind, Mancala, and more. Our time together will be spent sharpening our minds as we put our problem solving skills to the test, learn about and practice new games that require “no plugs”, and have fun with our friends!
 
Fun with 3D Art- Clay and Paper Mache
Grades 1-5 
Students will explore, manipulate, and create a piece of ceramic and paper mache artwork. For our clay project we will use techniques such as hand-building, coil building and glazing.  While making our paper mache project, will be sure to get messy and create a one of a kind piece of 3D art. Whether this is your first TEK Art experience or you are a previous club member, you will be inspired by working on new projects and walk away with some beautiful new 3D pieces of artwork.
