2025/2026 Programs List
Digital Art - Fall
This fall, we’re letting our inner artists shine!
Grades 1-2 Tap into your inner author! First and Second graders are invited to join Ms. Jo In the YPL Digital Learning Lab to write and illustrate a book using the Book Creator app. This workshop will span four 45-minute sessions – 11/4, 11/18, 11/25 and 12/2 from 3:45 – 4:30 PM. In the first session, Ms. Jo will model the app and teach the basic components of a story. In the next session, students will build their story with a story board. In the third session, our authors will either write or narrate their story, and the last session will be left for illustrating. Once completed, their beautiful books will be shared digitally with the family.
Grades 3-4 will get an introduction to Procreate, what it can do, and some open lab time!
Grades 5-6 will get to dive headfirst into the world of digital art using our brand-new iPads. You’ll learn some tricks and tips from Procreate, a powerful app that’ll teach you how to draw, paint, and create some truly amazing digital masterpieces.
Robotics and Coding with Vex IQ - Winter
When winter rolls around, get ready to build, drive, and code! Our VexIQ robotics concentration for Grades 4-6 will challenge you to construct your very own robots, navigate them through exciting courses, and learn the basics of robotic programming. Get ready for some serious STEM fun! This is 5 week program with two sessions a week. The first two weeks will be spent on building your robot, and the last 3 weeks will be working on coding the robot and working on motion.
Podcast Production - Spring
This spring we’ll be turning up the volume with our podcast session. Students will learn the process of creating their own podcast, from writing the program to recording crystal-clear audio and editing like a pro. It’s your chance to share your voice with the world!
