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
