A Curious Summer
The Studio for Urban Projects presents
A Curious Summer
a series of childrens workshops
A Curious Summer is a series of one-of-a-kind workshops driven by the curiosity of your child. We aim to induce wonder and spark enthusiasm for the everyday world around us. We consider play, the mysterious work of the child, to be an advanced and sophisticated endeavor, profoundly central to a child’s individual development and theories about the world. A Curious Summer workshops encourage discovery through free play, tinkering, and imagination.
We will turn the Studio for Urban Projects storefront into a laboratory and point of departure for urban excursions. Each week we will undertake a unique project. At the end of the week kids will share their experience with family and friends in a reception at our storefront that showcases their discoveries.
Drop off between 8:30 – 9:00, Pick up at 4:00. Aftercare offered between 4 – 5:30 (at the Studio or in neighboring Dolores Park) A reception that showcases your child’s work will be held each Friday evening.
Ages: Note that we are flexible on ages, particularly in the case of siblings. Write us if you have questions at info@studioforurbanprojects.org.
A Curious Summer will be led by Studio for Urban Projects member Marina McDougall in collaboration with Bryan Welch and other special guests.
Bryan Welch is an educator who is deeply committed to creating learning environments that honor the creativity and independence of children. He holds an interdisciplinary BA in education and journalism from UC Berkeley, and has taught and developed curriculum for alternative educational programs in the US and Japan since 1999.
