For grades 4 and up, sewing is for girls AND boys! (Seriously. There were multiple boys in every class last summer!) We will learn beginning and intermediate sewing techniques while completing several projects. We will focus on safety, sewing techniques, and learning to use a sewing machine. Depending on the interests of the students, we will choose from a variety of simple patterns as well as creating our own patterns. Machines and materials for all classes is provided, but you are also welcome to bring your own.

Class Description
Class Structure: Grades 4-7
Our Big Nerds classes for grades entering 4-7, have 2 types: regular classroom classes and computer lab* classes. The regular classroom classes run very similarly in format to the Little Nerds classes, essentially lesson, building/work, break, lesson, building/work.
Our computer lab* classes are Graphic Design, Virtual Reality, Coding Games, and 3D Printing. All of them require design or coding software that we provide account access for. The class will be based around learning that software to design or code the assigned projects. In addition to instruction on the software, all of these classes include lessons about how to connect what we are learning to the real world. There may be some building of physical projects mixed in, and we will certainly take breaks, but the majority of the class is spent working in the lab.
*We strongly recommend against taking 2 computer lab classes in the same week. It’s too much sitting and screen time! Mix and match with a non computer lab class if your nerd stays all day!
