Spy Kids Grades 1-2 ♦ 3:30-4:30pm ♦ Cost $125 SpyKids engages young Cadets in STEM with the fun of spy play! We start with Walkie-Talkie games and team hunts, and then move onto wave technology to understand how walkie-talkies work. We do skits and crafts to learn wave frequency and behaviors (picture a full class sending & receiving physical wave signals!) Disguises & currency begins with roles and costume fun, moves to currency as a reflection of national values, and concludes with the craft of “family” currency. Finally, we’ll employ spy drops & signals and tailing to engage students in classic spy-skills with high theater and lots of teamwork. https://adventurous.com/spykids/ Minimum 8 students, maximum 14 students.

About Dragonfly Designs: Since 2005, Dragonfly Designs has been sharing the joy of art and jewelry making with our community in the San Francisco Bay Area. The aim of our family business is to enable children’s creativity through holistic art education. We believe that artistic expression is crucial to healthy development. Art should be an engaging, tactile, and rewarding experience. Our goal is to create peaceful and inclusive spaces where each child is empowered to make truly unique treasures by hand. Because there’s no better time for cognitive retention than learning a language at a young age, we oer classes and camps taught in Mandarin and Spanish to children age five to teenagers. An understanding of art and language expands worldviews and fosters an appreciation for cultural diversity. Minimum 8 students, maximum 15.
