In Snapology’s Animation Studio, students will create fantastic movies with stop motion animation using LEGO® bricks. Children will work in teams under guided instruction to make a digital movie using stop motion techniques. Teams will go through the entire movie making process, from plot and character planning to editing. The best part is, their video will be uploaded to Snapology’s YouTube channel, so they can show friends and family their very own video!
Students will gain hands-on experience with computer-based movie-making software, learning to create, edit, and add sounds and music while becoming comfortable navigating computer menus and applications. They will also develop original stories and characters through guided instruction in story and character development, skills that not only enhance their films but also strengthen their storytelling abilities in the classroom. Just like professional filmmakers, students practice teamwork by collaborating on group planning, sharing ideas, and respecting their partners’ contributions to bring their creative visions to life.
Four Saturdays in November (1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd). 10:30am-12:00pm

Snapology: School Half Day - Brick Art & Design Lab
2025-11-13 13:00 - 16:00 | Fivesparks Cove
Edgar Degas, a famous artist, once said, “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”
As your child learns about different types of art and the periods in which they were created, students will also be interpreting what they see and creating their own works of art out of LEGO® bricks.
In Snapology’s Brick Art and Design Lab class, children will draw inspiration and guidance from great works of art like Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa,” Van Gogh’s “Starry Night,” Wright’s “Falling Water,” and so many more! By the end of the experience, your child will be able to not only share
information about famous artists, art forms, and art movements, but create their own unique works of art that reach beyond the past and into the future.
This workshops is appropriate for kids aged 5-12 years.

Snapology: Winter Themed Holiday Robotics - Polar Express
2025-11-26 09:00 - 15:00 | Fivesparks Cove
In our Winter Holiday Robotics program, your builder will explore the basics of robotics while building some really fantastic robots inspired by different holiday traditions! While working with a partner to complete the building instructions and debug their robot’s program, your student will be taught how different mechanical components work in their robots and how programming is a challenging but rewarding skill that they can master with just a little practice. We will support them in the development of their coding and building skills and inspire them with creative building activities and information about the traditions that make winter such a special time of year!
With each new model, students will be given a program to operate their robotic build. They will learn how to read the program code and then fix an error to make the code useable. By fixing errors in a broken program code, students will learn how to debug and modify their programs quickly. Whether making their build respond to various sensors, adding loops and fun sounds, or modifying variables, children will learn valuable programming skills through the Scratch-based coding platform.
This workshops is appropriate for kids aged 7-12 years.
