During each session, participants carry out sensory STEAM science and art experiments and projects, facilitated by an expert maker in the field. This is a family activity where children and adults work collaboratively. The overarching goal of the activity is to provide the tools necessary for children to engage in replicable maker activities at home where they can share their skills with family members, thereby limiting “screen time” across the family unit while developing critical thinking skills through creative projects. Projects may include: sensory dough, gravity art, evaporation art, marble painting, writing with light, etc.

Andrea Brady

With a BA in Art from the University of California Berkeley and an MFA from Mills College, California, Andrea is a practicing sculptor who moved to Spain after exhibiting widely in California. In her work she recycles found objects and “trash.” She is currently focused on making “machines” that incorporate electronics and 3D-printed parts. Over the years she has conducted art workshops for children of all ages, and uses art as a vehicle for learning English in her classes for young learners. She has also taught “Go Electric” at the Institute, a class in which young students conduct experiments in electricity and magnetism.
