Teacher In-service Day…students “off” and teachers on, right? It doesn’t have to be an “off” day for Summit students. Learning Extension Camps are new this year at Summit. While most of our staff works together on professional development initiatives and school planning, a select few, connected with our community partners, will spend a day full of adventure and wonder with our kids. It’s a day ON!
Monday, February 16 marks the third full day Learning Extension Camp at Summit, and this month we’re heading down to the NewBo District. Our full day of experience is hosted at The Vault, in the Geonetrics Building. The Vault is “a community of founders, innovators, entrepreneurs, starters and creatives.” We’ll be teaming up with a few of those starters and creatives and tapping into the innovative energy of the NewBo/Czech Village neighborhoods. Our kids will experience everything from coding to cookies on Monday. CR Coder Dojo founder David Tominsky is on tap for hands-on coding & circuits (banana piano anyone?). Later in the day, we’ll explore the Czech culture, learning traditional Czech and Slovac dances and sampling ginger cookies with our friends from the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library. That’s not all we’re doing; we’ll also team up with the Science Center and with Movmnt Dance Company (wondering how we’ll move this time? Think Stomp-style body percussion!)
