In this workshop, we'll explore collaborative projects that help students build their problem-solving skills!
About this Event

About the Workshop

Collaboration is an important life skill that doesn’t come naturally to most young children. In this workshop, we’ll explore projects that go beyond just sharing supplies and allow children to experience the joys (and challenges) of working together. These collaborative projects help students build their problem-solving skills and take pride in artwork they’ve created together.

All teachers will receive $25 of materials for free! In this workshop, you’ll get to try several projects yourself using repurposed SCRAP materials and then shop with your $25 store credit.

Our Free Teacher Workshops qualify as Prop G Hours!
