HOW TO REGISTER • • • •

Go to: rec.cityofgolden.net (under Day Camps) Look for activity #527111

Choose and pick the days you would like to attend.

Once enrolled, we will ask for certain documentation before the first day of camp. This information will be filled out through ePACT, including immunizations.

CANCELLATION POLICY • • •

In this challenge-oriented program, your student will explore the basic components of robotics by playing with modular cubes known as Cubelets®! Each way your student snaps the cubes together will create a unique robot, but what matters most is when your student figures out the perfect robot recipe to solve a challenge.

They will work with a partner to figure out how to create lighthouses, vehicles, astrobots, animals, and so much more. Is your student ready to tinker, design, predict, code and have a blast with Snapology?!

Cancellation dates without penalty will be due by March 1.

All cancellations must be emailed to ckelly@cityofgolden.net. No refund will be offered for cancellations after the deadline.

It is the parent’s responsibility to ensure they get a cancellation confirmation receipt. *There are no refunds for missed days*

SNAPOLOGY BRICK ART & DESIGN LAB

Edgar Degas, a famous artist, once said, “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” As your child learns about different types of art and the periods in which they were created, students will also be interpreting what they see and creating their own works of art out of LEGO bricks. In Snapology’s Brick Art and Design Lab class, children will draw inspiration and guidance from great works of art like Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa,” Van Gogh’s “Starry Night,” Wright’s “Falling Water,” and so many more! By the end of the experience, your child will be able to not only share information about famous artists, art forms, and art movements, but create their own unique works of art that reach beyond the past and into the future.
