It all begins by laying the foundation for body literacy by learning about our amazing nervous system. Our question of the day is, “Why should we celebrate mistakes?” We’ll explore the anatomy of a neuron and do an experiment that leads us to understanding how practice makes progress.

The pubertal brain remodel begins as early as age seven and takes a decade to complete. In this class, we’ll normalize our shifting identity and celebrate what makes us unique. Our goal is to understand that our appearance is just one aspect of our identity and many parts work together to make us strong.

The brain remodel leads to identity shifts and it makes perfect sense that friendships evolve too. In this class, we’ll learn about healthy friendships, self love, and self care. We’ll break down the science of why we compare ourselves to others and how we can harness this human trait to build confidence.

In this class, we will celebrate growth by reframing the changes associated with puberty as superpowers. From mood swings to breast buds, building body confidence is all about having an attitude of gratitude that our bodies are healthy and growing.

We’ll extract DNA from strawberries and make necklaces while learning about genetics and metabolism. This class proactively builds a positive body image by boosting science and media literacy skills. We’ll explore the science behind why humans have diverse shapes, sizes, and skin tones.

In this class, we will learn about intuitive eating and the science of how different foods keep us both physically and mentally healthy. We’ll also explore media literacy skills to decipher how some advertisements try trick us into buying their products. Our class will culminate with a fun cooking project in which we make chia pudding.

We will begin by brainstorming diverse family structures. Then, we’ll learn about all of the possibilities they can choose if they want to add a baby to the mix. This class will cover basic male and female reproductive anatomy, sexual reproduction, adoption, egg and sperm donation, surrogacy, and in vitro fertilization.

Based on Harvard’s “Project Zero” curriculum, this class will cover strategies to strengthen media literacy skills using digital dilemma scenarios. Topics will include healthy digital habits, digital safety, and proactive conversations about pornography to prevent trauma.

Proactively prevent perfectionism with this class about embracing mistakes. Did you know that silly putty, chocolate chip cookies, and play-doh were all discovered by mistake? Every mistake is an opportunity to make something beautiful. It’s perfectly fine, and sometimes fortuitous to make a mistake.

Based on research that race and body diversity should be discussed with toddlers on up, this workshop explores our skin’s amazing superpowers. Our skin color is an adaptation that helped our ancestors survive. This workshop offers the opportunity to begin important conversations about race with children in an informed, safe, and supported way.
