Did you know that MAP Afterschool students are building their own structures? From geodesic domes made from newspapers to retail shops constructed from shipping boxes, our young artists and engineers are learning essential skills like problem-solving, hand-eye coordination, and spatial reasoning. Read about structure building at MAP Afterschool, written by MAP Teaching Artist and Classroom Assistant, Sudip:

A few years ago, we hosted a Pi Day concert with MAP instructors. Programmer-teacher Walter Bender shared a way to calculate Pi using visual code.
Check out a snippet from the concert for Pi Day today: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxfIWFNJ6xbsQyMmjZaZmJxgdT7nlCIMyP?si=DG1gwDBgQsdBXj8F
Today, the afterschool students used Turtle Blocks to create four-leaf clovers. Using an origami shamrock as a reference, students were asked to modify their code from a three-leaf clover to a four-leaf. For any students that completed this task, they could try changing the color and shade of the leaves and even try creating a stem. We all had a great time. And now we're all ready for St. Patrick's Day.

One of our guitar students, Dorje, was recently gifted a guitar! Occasionally, we receive instrument donations, and this guitar was given to a student who needed a new instrument and certainly deserved it given his dedication. Plus, a few weeks after receiving the instrument, he figured out how to restring the guitar by himself and began playing fingerstyle arrangements of popular music. Keep up the great work!
