Through interactive challenges, students build confidence in creative thinking, teamwork, and decision-making while discovering how their ideas can make a positive impact.

Narrative Arts: Storytelling & Imagination
Grades 1–6 | 32peces
Every great story begins with an idea! In Narrative Arts, students explore the world of storytelling through words, images, and imagination, learning how stories connect us across cultures, generations, and experiences.
Through hands-on activities and special visits from traveling guest artists—including authors, narrators, writers, and illustrators—students discover the many ways stories can be created, shared, and brought to life. From developing characters and building imaginative worlds to experimenting with illustration and expressive storytelling, students strengthen their communication, literacy, and creative thinking skills.
Whether crafting their own stories, illustrating original narratives, or learning from visiting artists, students gain confidence in their voices and discover the power of storytelling to inspire, connect, and create meaningful experiences.
Your Runway
Grades 1–6 | 32peces
Discover the art of fashion design while giving new life to everyday materials! In Your Runway, students explore the world of fashion through creativity, sustainability, and hands-on design.
In this core module, young designers learn the fundamentals of fashion, experiment with upcycling, and transform materials into original wearable creations. Students develop their artistic skills while exploring how thoughtful design can reduce waste and inspire more sustainable choices.
Each student receives a Fashion Upcycling Kit to support their creative journey. Through sketching, experimenting, and constructing, students bring their unique visions to life and celebrate their work through a fashion-inspired showcase.
From the first sketch to the final design, students build confidence, problem-solving skills, and an appreciation for self-expression while discovering that great fashion begins with imagination.
