 After-school workshops are a flexible and convenient way to keep kids excited and engaged after school. Arrive anytime between 3:30 – 4pm to hang out, have a snack and relax. At 4pm the project of the day begins. Students will work side by side with our awesome DAE mentors to start a new project, build on their skills from a previous project, or learn something new!

Students in our after-school program have programmed drones, created games in Scratch, practiced their Python syntax, laser-cut superhero faces, used Wacom tablets to draw in Photoshop, and much more.
