Create delicious arts and crafts projects, using sweet and savory ingredients.  Discover how to use edible “paint”, “glue”, “modeling clay”, and a variety of edible loose parts as we engage in the creative process together.  Sample categories and activities may include: “Edible Works of Art” (mosaic art, abstract art, and sculptures); “Out of This World!” (aliens, spaceships, and fun challenges); and “Just for Fun!” (creating edible puzzles, and fooling your friends with fake foods, such as “burgers and fries”).  All projects are no-bake, easy to prepare, and are perfect as afterschool (or anytime) snacks.

In this course, you will learn valuable online skills to answer these questions and more: How do I stop hackers from getting into my stuff? How do videos “go viral”? How did that ad know what I searched for? What does it really mean to “do the research” online? Why is my online life making me depressed? How do I make it stop?

Explore these questions and more with a college professor who has taught digital literacy, worked on VR and crypto, and been a YouTuber. We’ll make videos, explore AI “deepfakes,” do online and in-person activities to help you identify which websites and apps are trustworthy, and build your self-defense skills for life online. Bring a USB memory stick to save files onto.
