About This Activity
Period A: Improv and Dramatic Interpretation Performance Improv is a great way to practice public speaking while building confidence in yourself and your presence. In this class, you will have fun getting creative and getting comfortable being yourself while speaking in front of others. You'll learn the fundamentals of storytelling and keeping engagement in your performance and story. This will all be done in a safe and team oriented environment. In this class we’ll also work on Dramatic Interpretation pieces, which are short pieces taking from plays or other works that spotlight your ability to convey emotion through the text. Instructor Dontae Hill aka “The Forensics Guy” has been involved in Speech and Debate for over a decade. The Forensics Guy has dedicated his life to the activity and found a variety of ways to live out his mantra of making sure that every student has the opportunity to be impacted by Forensics. Period B: Beginner F1 Blockzone Robotics Racers start your engines! This class will build two smaller F1 race cars– one of which is remote control. We will explore many aspects of automotive engineering, and dive into what makes a fast car. Upon completion of the remote control cars, students will have time to test and modify their cars before racing in the Athenian Grand Prix on the final day of class. Do you have what it takes to build the fastest car?!? This class is intended for beginners and intermediate block builders. Little to no experience required. This class is led by Athenian Assistant Athletics Director Zach Holt and resident block expert, and the goal is for kids to be able to learn about robotics while building socially with others. Each kid will take home their completed projects.
