Express yourself through art, music, and more.

Kids ages 5 & up, express yourself, make art, learn rhythms and explore the world at Summer of HeART with Youth Arts Alliance. This free eight-week series invites you to try new things with YAA teaching artists and community partners. All supplies and a snack provided.

Each day’s activities will be different. The lineup is offered by YAA Teaching Artists & community partners:

• Science Savvy Kids Club workshops led by Tamara Tucker-Ibarisha. Do you love science? Do you like to investigate and explore? If you do, then the Savvy Science Kids Club is just for you! We will investigate the world around us using the process of science and techniques that span the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Each session will be centered around a new theme and will include dynamic lessons, hands-on lab activities, and a project that kids can take home. We will also talk about careers in STEM and meet professionals from those fields! Activities are aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards and are designed to engage all learners.
