Frequently Asked Questions
What ages are the workshops for?
The workshops are for school aged children, but with extra help pre-schoolers can still participate. We don't recommend children under 3 as there are small objects for some activities.
Do adults have to participate?
Short answer- Yes, things flow better when adults actively participate in the workshops.
Long Answer- Our workshops are designed for all participants to learn and participate. To be able to keep our staffing costs lower we need to lean on parents/adults/chaperones to assist with some of the activities to free our staff to answer content questions.
