Junior Scholars: Bold Women
When everyone told them "no" or "you can't," these fearless women persisted. Armed with their knowledge, strength, and willpower, they pushed beyond the barriers. February is African American History Month and this week, we look at bold women, past and present, who saw a challenge and rose above it to create progress for others. Join us for a program and you'll be inspired to overcome what stands in your way!
Junior Scholars: Artists
What do you immediately think of when you hear the word, "artist?" Most of us probably think of people who create visual art, such as painters and sculptors. But the word "artist" also includes people who write literature or poetry; who create for and participate in dance, music, and theatre; and who design fashions and buildings. February is African American History Month and this week, we'll be learning about the creative people who have contributed to all forms of art. Join us, and you'll be inspired to produce your own artistic work!
Junior Scholars (Grades K-5): The World Around You
Have you wondered why something works the way it does? Or do you have a better way to do something? A lot can come from really studying the world around you. February is African American History Month, and in this week’s programs, we'll learn how the uniqueness and talent of African-American scientists, inventors, and artists brought about many wonderful things. Hopefully, you'll be inspired to create something amazing!
Junior Scholars (Grades K-5): Curiosity
Look around you: everything from our cars to our phones to the lights in our house to some of the foods we eat; all came from someone's imagination. At some point in time, someone had an idea that started with the question, "I wonder?" February is African American History Month and this week we let our curiosity run wild as we take a look at all the inventors, scientists, innovators, artists, and more who've made contributions to the world around us!
Junior Scholars (K - 5th Grade): Dinosaurs
This is an especially exciting week, because just about everyone is fascinated by dinosaurs! The "terrible lizards" take center stage in our programming: we'll learn about their various defenses, what we know about their footprints, and be inspired by these amazing creatures while learning different art techniques. Join us to learn even more about dinosaurs!
