SUMMARY:An Afternoon of Irish Music with Sarah Collins & Jonathan Vocke
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Collins and Jonathan Vocke bring a fresh take to Irish music\, pairing traditional fiddle melodies with old time two-fingered banjo. Drawing inspiration from the Celtic traditions that Sarah grew up with in the Boston area and the old-time and folk scene that Jonathan calls home in Baltimore\, the pair explores the space at the intersection of these musical styles. The music they create together is first and foremost about groove\, and plays with the balance of lightness\, sensitivity\, and grounding. The program of music will include Irish\, Scottish\, and Old Time tunes and songs\, featuring fiddle\, guitar\, and banjo. \nSarah grew up in Harvard\, graduating from Bromfield in 2010\, and is excited to return to town and share her music with family and friends. \nAll are welcome.  Tickets ($20) will be sold at the door via cash\, Venmo or Paypal.

SUMMARY:Snapology Winter Vacation Program: Science of Superpowers & Mega Machines Robotics
DESCRIPTION: Morning Session: Science of Superpowers\nBring your favorite superheroes to life while discovering the science behind their incredible powers!\nStudents will explore the fascinating world of forces\, energy\, and physics through hands-on building and fun experiments. They’ll design superhero models\, vehicles\, and accessories inspired by heroes like Superman\, Batman\, and Wonder Woman — all while learning about: \nFlight forces\, collisions\, and air pressure \nGravity\, friction\, and energy transfer \nScientific experimentation and problem-solving \nChildren will compare the “super” world to real-life science as they test\, experiment\, and think critically. It’s a super-powered way to make learning physics fun! \n Afternoon Session: Mega Machines Robotics\nIn the afternoon\, young engineers will take their skills to the next level with Mega Machines Robotics\, a machinery-focused program where creativity meets coding. Students will work in teams to design and program spectacular robotic vehicles using LEGO® robotics kits and Scratch-based coding. \nThrough exciting challenges\, they’ll learn how to: \nProgram and debug robotic models \nUtilize sensors\, gears\, motors\, and axles \nCollaborate effectively with partners \nFollow instructions and refine builds through iteration \nBy the end of the week\, students will not only have built amazing machines but also gained confidence in coding\, problem-solving\, and teamwork — all while having a blast! \nChildren can register for: \nMorning sessions only: Science of Superpowers\, ages 5-12\, 9am-12:00pm\, $200/participant. Click HERE to register for the morning program. \nAfternoon sessions only: Mega Machines Robotics\, ages 6-12\, 12:30-3:30pm\, $200/participant.
