Second Graders

General Advice

If your child loves art and enjoys exploring materials and techniques, Adventure Artists will be a great fit.

If your child enjoys both creative thinking and making things beyond traditional art, Imagination Lab will give them opportunities to invent, problem-solve, and collaborate.

If they’re somewhere in between, consider whether they’d rather spend most of their time creating artwork (Adventure Artists) or solving creative challenges with a mix of art and hands-on projects (Imagination Lab).

Does your child:

✅ Love creative problem-solving, brainstorming, and hands-on building? → Imagination Lab

✅ Enjoy working on big, ambitious projects over multiple weeks? → World Builders

✅ Like teamwork and group challenges, but still want time for their own ideas? → Imagination Lab

✅ Get excited about designing entire worlds, stories, or large-scale projects? → World Builders

✅ Prefer open-ended, playful experimentation? → Imagination Lab

✅ Like to invent, tinker, and prototype creative ideas? → Imagination Lab

✅ Want to develop a large-scale idea over time—like building a city, designing a board game, or mapping out a fictional world? → World Builders

Fourth Graders

General Advice

If your child thrives on creative problem-solving and hands-on experiments, Imagination Lab is the better fit.

If your child wants to dive deep into immersive projects and world-building, World Builders is a great choice.

If they love both structured problem-solving and imaginative long-term projects, Imagination Lab may be a good transition before they move into World Builders in future sessions.
