Codes and patterns are the basis of math, language, science and art. Students will craft and receive secret messages individually and in teams. Using puzzles and games, they will learn basics of letter and number codes, Morse code, and systems of pattern recognition in science and art.

Come design, create and build with Legos! Participants will start by drawing and designing cube structure(s) in 2D, then 3D. They will then work to build their structure(s) out of Legos. Once their initial design is built, they will continue to revise and build upon their structures and designs.

Note that Legos used in the class are the property of Hayden Recreation Centre. Participant creations will be displayed and photographed, but participants will not be keeping their creations.

Little Scientists
A fun introduction to the wonders of Science! We will do different projects or experiments each week exploring areas of light, color, air, water, temperature, bugs & worms, animals and more. Projects/Experiments could include light catchers, DIY slime, rainbow in a bottle, building habitats, bubbles, magnetic sand and much more!

Young Scientists
Come join us while we explore the wonderful world of science! Learn the essential skills needed to become a young scientist through a variety of activities and experiments. We will explore topics in states of matter, weather, zoology, engineering, Earth science and gardening, environmental science, rocket science and more!

Come design, build and create in this hands-on class that is all things engineering. Using a wide variety of materials, we'll put our knowledge and skills to the test as we build towers, bridges, mazes and more! We'll test their functionality, structural integrity and problem solve to improve designs and structures.

Each week will be comprised of a series of unique STEAM activities to spark the imagination, innovation, and collaboration of our young creators. A few of our exciting activities may include elephant toothpaste, bubble snakes, camouflage and more. Some weeks hands will get messy, while other days, curiosity will be spark inventive creativity.
