After School (OST)

Rotating, hands-on after-school programming — from electric bike builds to kites to aquaponics — led by adult mentors from the community.

E-Bike UpCycle

Kids, with the help of parents and community experts, took discarded bicycles and hoverboards destined for the landfill, disassembled them, learned motor controls, electronics, fabrication, and troubleshooting — and built functioning electric bicycles.

Kites

A hands-on build session in aerodynamics, materials, and design — students construct their own kites from scratch, then take them outside to see (and troubleshoot) how they fly.

Aquaponic Fountain

Combining basic plumbing, electronics, and biology, students build a working aquaponic fountain system — a hands-on introduction to sustainable design and closed-loop systems.
