  A NEW Summer Camp from ROBOTS-4-U

     This unique program is a moving Art project, where children 7 to 12, build unique Art projects that are animated. Each project incorporates visual designs that the student arranges as their own creation and through a variety of devices ensures that this sculpture moves. Our unique Dynamic Art program combines art and technology while challenging your child to explore the relationship of these ideas. Through this program your child will be given the experience of making moving sculptures. Artists such as Alexander Calder used this method for his ceiling mobiles, which are seen all over the country. Each child will be given the opportunity to explore their creativity while incorporating the exciting elements of technology. Through the use of motors, gears and pulleys your child will learn how to turn their art to an exciting new level. They will be making beautiful and fun unique sculptures that exist as art and decorative objects. This class will challenge the functionality of the creative process as well as being fun and rewarding. It is more than your basic children's art class. Each kit contains motors, batteries, and circuits, which are essential to making moving sculpture as well as fun art tools such as construction paper, pipe cleaners, felt, pom poms, and googly eyes. All these items work together to create unique moving pieces of art and your child will closely examine the partnership between engineering and art. (less) ... Read more

  School of Rock has been teaching kids how to amaze audiences for over 10 years. Our performance based curriculum gets students from the lesson room to the stage, developing both their confidence and musicianship with programs designed for all skill levels. ROCK 101 Rock 101 is our performance program for kids who are beginners/still learning the basics of their instrument and are new to SOR. This program includes 1 weekly private lesson (30 or 45 minute) and 1 weekly group rehearsal with all the other Rock 101 kids. This group rehearsal includes an hour and a half of rocking and focuses on learning the building blocks of performance, playing in a band, and using gear. The kids spend their group rehearsal time learning a set of songs (could be anything from Nirvana to Green Day to AC/DC) and preparing to be the opening act for one of season shows! PERFORMANCE PROGRAM Once a student graduates ROCK 101, they move on to our Performance Program! This program includes 1 weekly private lesson (45 minute) and a 3-hour weekly group rehearsal. They will rehearse for 13-16 weeks until they are razor-sharp, then perform a triumphant concert as the finale of the season. The shows are always at real rock venues like the The Soiled Dove Underground, 3 Kings, Toad's Tavern, Herman's Hideaway, and other great spots around the greater Denver area, and they are ALWAYS A BLAST!!! ROCK ROOKIES Rookies inspires first and second graders to pursue music by channeling their inner rock stars. The action-packed classes teach young rockers pitch, rhythm, and musical teamwork through a combination of fun, music-based games, and group rehearsal of simple rock songs. The students will experience the magic of playing all of the major rock instruments: Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboards, and Vocals while developing a core understanding of, confidence in, and love for music.
