About This Activity
Our Homeschool Enrichment Program combines academics, creativity, and community in a mixed-age learning environment where each student is challenged at their own developmental level. Students begin each day with a Community Lunch, building friendships while practicing teamwork, responsibility, and life skills through shared meal preparation and cleanup. In the afternoon, Inventors Lab challenges students to become creative problem-solvers by applying the scientific method to real-world questions. Working independently or in small teams, students identify problems, research solutions, develop hypotheses, build prototypes, test their ideas, analyze results, and present their discoveries. Along the way, they naturally integrate concepts from science, math, engineering, technology, and social studies while developing collaboration, perseverance, and critical thinking skills. Daily schedule: Community Lunch (12:00–1:00 PM) Inventors Lab (1:00–3:30 PM) MEET THE INSTRUCTOR: Julie Devita (they/her) is a homeschooling parent who has been an educator for 15 years.
