Beyond the Five Senses: We all learn about sight, taste, smell, hearing and touch. But did you know there are at least nine more senses? We'll explore how they work and test them with fun activities.

Scratch Programming: Create your own games and animations while applying logic and mathematical concepts such as Cartesian coordinate system, variables, and broadcasting. Publish your creation on the Internet and share them with your friends!

Afternoon

Dungeoneers' Guild: You are searching castle ruins for a lost artifact by the light of a flickering torch. Suddenly a giant troll steps out of the shadows, and he looks mad! What will you do? Run, fight, cast a spell? The choice is yours as you and your friends play heroes in a fantasy world set in the Middle Ages using the Dungeons and Dragons rules. Search dark dungeons, solve insidious riddles, fight monstrous evil and finally escape with the fabulous treasure. Make sure to bring your imagination!
