Some of these include: Youth mindfulness—focused on helping students learn how to manage stress at a young age; lego robotics—for middle schoolers who want to learn more about the use of robotics; environmental explorers—a week long program for middle schoolers who want a hands on learning experience with the environment; codebreakers—a new summer program for students who want to get a grasp on the basics of coding; and many more.
