Our Atelier
An atelier is a workshop where children will encounter materials and ideas. They will develop systems of representational thinking and symbolic languages while encountering both the expressive arts and STEM.
Our Atelier is a space to encounter rich, intelligent materials and diverse ideas.
Proposals are set up for hands-on, experiential learning, and to inspire and provoke thinking, creating and collaboration. Children will be guided to work on projects together. The space empowers and encourages the child to approach and encounter materials and to develop systems of symbolic expression, culminating in communicative projects.
“Intelligent materials are open-ended materials that are full of potential to spark children’s creativity. The more a material can do, the more intelligent it can become with children, because what a material can do determines the potential for learning.”
(Dietze & Kashin, 2016)
