Clubs

Atelier of Making is the afterschool program of PlayWithArt, where we create meaningful artistic experiences. Children explore materials, express their ideas, and grow through hands-on creativity. We focus on nurturing each child’s imagination, supporting their unique ideas, and guiding them through the development and execution of their creations. We believe that every child is an artist when they are given time, space, and meaningful materials. 

Our approach is inspired by Reggio Emilia, Montessori, Freinet, and Waldorf, valuing both process and product, imagination and craftsmanship. We aim to create a space where creativity grows naturally and where children not only learn techniques but also develop confidence, autonomy, and a love for making.

Activities We Offer
Our afterschool club classes include a rich variety of artistic experiences tailored to each developmental stage.
These activities are designed to encourage creativity, exploration, and meaningful engagement with materials.
•    Drawing – lines, shapes, composition, visual storytelling

The Bricks Fun - Machine Builders program (designed by Tektokids®) teaches students between 6 and 11 years of age basic math, physics, and engineering with motorized LEGO®. By building machines and constructions from LEGO®, the students become familiar with technical and physical principles and see them physically working in the built models.

The models connect to various themes that we will cover during a series of lessons, such as forces, balance and different forms of energy.
The students become familiar with basic mechanical principles such as gears, levers, pulleys, wheels and axles and investigate and test the various applications.

We challenge the children to improve the models according to their own insights and to investigate the possibilities of the materials and knowledge offered. This investigative and designing way of learning appeals to problem-solving thinking, creativity and more 21st century skills.

Objectives

+ Investigate various physical phenomena such as force and movement
+ Develop motor skills
+ Develop spatial insight
+ Follow a working drawing step by step
+ Apply technical principles
+ Explore various forms of energy
+ Investigate constructions that provide stability and strength
+ Learn to apply found solutions in other situations
+ Increase sense of competence
+ Review the process and evaluate

Over the last 10 years, the media landscape has changed dramatically. Social media apps and filmmaking tools have become a fundamental part of our digital lives. Young people learn, socialize, explore their identities and engage with the world using their screens. In response to these developments, Film Crew Club offers hands-on classes in which we work with cameras, iPads and smartphones to explore animation and live action filmmaking. Students get a chance to act, direct, script, film, animate, edit and create special effects in a wide range of media formats. We edit the material created in class and screen final films each week to students. This creates a dynamic feedback loop that empowers both learning and engagement.

Our classes include history lessons that teach students how our media systems have evolved as well as game based exercises in which children are encouraged to ask: who made this? For whom? What messages are being conveyed? How does it make me feel?

Playful, dialogical approaches to these discussions help to engage and empower children. By making and viewing media together, students learn, first hand, how to look at it critically as well as how to engage with it safely and ethically.

In this course, you will discover how buildings are designed and why they look the way they do.
You will learn to see and think like a real architect: where does the light come from? How do you ensure that a building is sturdy? 
And how do you create a place where people want to be?
How amazing is the diversity of constructions humans designed and built around the world!
The Architecture Club will provide students with lots of images of beautiful and surprising buildings around the world, from the beginning of mankind history up to the most contemporary time.
