After more than a year of plotting, planning and designing Sip & Play is incredibly excited to announce the opening of our very own afterschool program for upper elementary and middle school age humans (goblins and gremlins accepted on a case by case basis). The inaugural session of the program will have kids working hands-on from moment one, diving right into analysis, reverse engineering, and the development of their own versions of modern and classic board games.
​
Each day has been meticulously crafted by our resident game design guru Adam Columbia, who is a veteran educator with a decade of experience working with families in Park Slope and beyond. Here are a few things we love about our program you can expect:
-
Critical thinking rooted deeply in play and practical problem solving
-
Active and guided fostering of social emotional growth and cooperation
-
Real accomplishments and follow-through from initial idea to final construction
-
A small group environment centered around a 1:4 instructor to student ratio
-
Smiling faces and full hearts after having fun with friends
