Green Mouse Academy - Technology Arts Discovery
HADO is the first-ever physical e-sport in the world using Augmented Reality (AR) technology. HADO players wear wireless head-mounted displays and wrist motion sensors, using only gestures to unleash super-powered energy balls on their opponents. Opponents must dodge these energy balls and wield shields to protect their four life petals. It is a 3v3 battle for 80 seconds. HADO is highly inclusive and physically active, differentiating it from other esports programs.

Cox Science Center and Aquarium - Art of Science
The Art of Science ELO is a program for 3rd - 8th grade students featuring STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) activities, experiments employing deductive reasoning, critical thinking skills and artistic exploration of the scientific topics presented. This program will consist of six sessions investigating the science involved in various topics such as animal adaptations, engineering, visual perception, spectroscopy, animation, and digital design. Each session will include a visual art component in which youth will have the opportunity to reinforce and interpret the scientific knowledge they acquire through various forms of physical and digital art. Activities in this program include learning how certain animals use different strategies to trick our eyes into not seeing them, experimenting with the principle of persistence of vision by creating stop-motion animation, discovering the physiology behind our perception of color, and experimenting with different styles of digital art.

Sunflower Creative Arts - Build & Play
Sunflower Creative Arts’ Build & Play program is a unique hands-on STEAM offering serving under-resourced Preschool through Middle School aged children in Palm Beach County.
During a Build & Play session, inside or outside, children are invited to direct their own play and have the opportunity to be creative and imaginative with the support of our caring Play Counselors. Play Counselors set up a safe and engaging environment providing loose parts for endless exploration: open ended materials such as cardboard, tape, fabric, paper towel tubes, art supplies, recyclables, science ingredients and more.
Benefits:
Children have the chance to make decisions about how, what and with whom to play. This is empowering, combats stress and builds self-esteem and mental health.
Each week children can build and deconstruct structures, plan and test hypotheses, freely create with art materials, design costumes and props for pretend play, interact with nature, and play alone or with others all while developing the 4 C’s of:
Creative thinking
Collaboration Skills
Critical thinking
Communication
And so much more! Real world problem solving, hands-on learning, social and emotional skills, adaptability, resilience, confidence, Discovery, Fun and Joy!
The Brain Workout Academy - Playful STEAM
At The Brain Workout Academy, we believe that STEM education should be engaging, hands-on, and inspiring. Our after-school enrichment programs for students in grades 3-8 combine engineering, math, and logic with interactive challenges that foster critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.
Through carefully designed activities, students collaborate to explore STEM concepts in a dynamic, supportive environment. They engage in engineering and design challenges, constructing cars, towers, catapults, rockets, airplanes and more, while also tackling math games and logic puzzles that strengthen their analytical abilities.
Our Playful STEM Learning approach ensures that students develop confidence in STEM subjects while having fun. By working together on hands-on projects, they learn not only technical skills but also communication, creativity, and perseverance.
We invite you to explore our programs and see the impact of Brain Workout Academy in action. Visit us on Facebook to view student projects and experiences: https://www.facebook.com/TheBrainWorkoutAcademy
