About This Activity
Period A Improv is a great way to practice public speaking while building confidence in yourself and your presence. Improv teaches you how to create stories and scenes and perform them without a script. In this class, you will have fun getting creative and getting comfortable being yourself while speaking in front of others. You will learn the fundamentals of storytelling and how to keep an audience engaged in your performance and story. And we'll do all of this in a safe, fun and team oriented environment. In this class we’ll also work on Dramatic Interpretation pieces, which are short pieces taking from plays, short stories or other works that spotlight your ability to convey emotion through the text. We’ll practice our acting skills and gain confidence through Dramatic Interpretation, which is an common area to compete in Speech and Debate tournaments as well. Dontae is also the Athenian School Speech and Debate Instructor for the Upper School and Middle School. Period B Get ready for the race of your life! This advanced building class is intended for experienced block builders who have built complex technical builds and can follow build models and instructions (mostly) independently. We will be building a remote control F1 race car, AND a separate fully functioning V8 engine! high level of building precision. Once complete, campers will have a chance to test and modify their car before competing in the Athenian Grand Prix! This class is led by Athenian Assistant Athletics Director Zach Holt and resident block expert, and the goal is for campers to be able to learn about robotics while building socially with others. Each camper will take home their completed projects.
