Grades 3-8
Your classroom will transform into a group of explorers, discovering never-before-found species of fantasy creatures! Using what they already know about animal biology and habitats, students will add their imaginations to create and become unique creatures. Each discovery team will study real creature specimens to inform their creations.
Grades 9–12
How do horror filmmakers elicit specific responses from their audience? In this workshop, we'll analyze scenes from Get Out (2017) and Umma (2022). Using these insights, we’ll craft our own spine-chilling horror story utilizing film techniques like music, camera angles, and dialogue.
