We’re excited to announce we’ve expanded the program to add Grades 2-3 so we’ll be running two different age groups concurrently.

Grades 2-3 will explore what it means to be an engineer, learn what types of engineer they can be, and build fun, creative engineering projects. Then they’ll look at the 7 wonders of the world in new ways.

Grades 4-7 will undertake some structural engineering with bridges, and then have an introduction to microcontrollers.

GRIT After-School at Ross Road

At Grit, we run programs in brain-health + soul-resilience for youth. In an effort to combat an ever-increasing epidemic of anxiety in kids, we use mindful activities to show how strong our focus is, neuro-science based meditation (aka #braintrain) to show how strong our minds are, and awesome crafts to show how strong our creative sparks are.

We also talk about real topics like friendships + bullying, anxiety + mental health, stress, pressure,  identity + gender and what being an authentic human is really all about.

We laugh a lot and have a ton of fun and we’d love you to join us. All genders welcome.

Scholarships available.

** SPACES AVAILABLE **

Thursdays Nov 3-Dec 1 (no class Nov 17) / 3-4:30pm / grades 3-5
