Think beyond paper! In this hands-on art experience, students will combine materials like cardboard, clay, and paper to create imaginative 2D and 3D artwork.

Young artists will learn how to build sturdy sculptures, add texture, and use mixed media techniques to tell visual stories. Through creative problem-solving and experimentation, students will design and construct original pieces that showcase their ideas in exciting new ways.

Perfect for creators who love to build, shape, layer, and think outside the canvas.

Blast off into an exciting exploration of space. Discover how astronomers study the night sky and learn about the stars, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other objects that make up our solar system.

Through hands-on activities, models, and interactive challenges, explore what makes each planet unique and how everything in our solar system works together. Ask big questions, make observations like a real scientist, and build a deeper understanding of the universe beyond Earth.

Perfect for curious learners who love space, science, and discovering how things work.

Dive deeper into the art of telling stories and bring new characters and stories to life for young children. Explore creative ways to engage kids through interactive reading and hands-on crafts using paper crafting and everyday household supplies.

Learn techniques to make stories memorable and fun, build confidence leading activities, and discover new ways to connect with your audience. This class is perfect for those who want to expand their storytelling skills, whether or not they have taken Part 1.

The Grow Period is a relaxed, screen-free afternoon experience designed to give students time to unwind, connect, and explore their interests in a supportive, supervised environment. Open to all grade levels, this mixed-age time encourages creativity, cooperation, and independent play while being guided by Curiosity Lab facilitators and staff.

Each day offers a rotating mix of optional activities so students can choose how they want to spend their time. Activities may include art and crafts, games, building challenges, reading corners, outdoor play, or quiet creative projects. Some days can be active, others can be calm, giving students space to recharge after a full day of learning.

Parents can feel confident knowing students are safely supervised, engaged in meaningful activities, and enjoying a screen-free transition at the end of the day. Students will enjoy the freedom to try new things, spend time with friends, and grow independence in a fun, low-pressure setting.
