Bloom Kitchen - Kids Cooking w/ Whitney Cardosi - Healthy Hands Cooking- Tuesdays @ Mills 58 Peabody
In this six-session program, Whitney Cardosi of Bloom Kitchen guides elementary students through the fundamentals of kitchen safety, knife skills, and creating fun, nutritious recipes. Each class is hands-on and designed to build confidence in the kitchen. Kids will learn to safely prepare their own healthy meals while exploring the power of nutritious ingredients as fuel for their bodies!
Whitney's goal is to get kids excited about food and to understand that we really are what we eat. Empowering them to make smart decisions because they WANT to not because they HAVE to. Food is energy. Food is joy. Food fuels us and if we know how to fuel our body, we can ensure we are living long, happy, vibrant lives.Whitney is a certified cooking instructor and is on a mission to shake up the nutrition game in our community through the magic of cooking. She merges essential nutrition wisdom with the joy of culinary exploration.

At Escout, every course—whether it's coding your first game, building a robot, or conducting engaging science experiments—is designed to challenge and excite. Explore our programs and start building your future, one exciting project at a time.Winter 8 Week Programs:Animation & Develop Games - Level 1 & 2 Grade 2 -5 Dive into the world of digital creativity with our Animation and Game Development course, designed specifically for young learners in grades 2-5. In this interactive course, students Introduce to code puzzles, express and apply computing steps, Build and play with code blocks (Animation, music/sound blocks). Build fun games and animations using Events, Conditional and Repetition concepts. As students progress, they will delve into more advanced game design, constructing platform and multi-player games, as well as memory-based games. Winter Schedule: Day : Tuesdays Time : 5:30pm to 6:30pm Dates : 1/21-3/18 Fee: $149Location : Online (via Zoom )*No Session 2/18 (February School Break) Day : WednesdaysTime : 5:30pm to 6:30pm Dates : 1/22-3/18Fee: $149 Location : Online (via Zoom )*No Session 2/19 (February School Break)Hands-on Robotics with Micro:bit (Block Coding) Level 1 Grade 4 to 6This engaging program introduces students to the exciting world of robotics and coding using Micro:bit, a pocket-sized programmable computer. Through hands-on experiments and block coding, students will explore the Micro:bit's built-in sensors, including an accelerometer, light sensor, and motion detector, to create fun and practical projects. Project includes: Building a step counter, designing a dice roller for board games, creating an animal tracker And many more exciting real-world experiments. *Note: This class requires the purchase of a physical Micro:bit device (approximately $35), which can be used for future Micro:bit series classes. Day : Tuesday Time : 5:30pm to 6:30pm Dates : 1/21 to 3/18Fee: $149 Location : Online (via Zoom )*No Session 2/18 (February School Break)Hands-on Robotics with Micro:bit (using Python) Level 1: Grade 6 - 10This course introduces foundational computing skills and provides a smooth transition from block coding to text-based programming. Students will transition to Python, a versatile programming language, while learning essential concepts such as variables, loops, and functions.Key highlights of the course include:
Sensor Integration: Explore Micro:bit's built-in sensors, such as the accelerometer and light sensor, to create projects like a step counter and a dice roller for board games.
Advanced Sensor Projects: Use gesture and motion detection sensors to develop innovative projects, including an animal tracker, water bottle alert system, and plant watering system.
Data Handling and Real-World Applications: Learn to collect and analyze data for exciting science experiments and practical applications.
This hands-on program empowers students to enhance their problem-solving and coding skills while working on meaningful and engaging projects.Note: Students will need a physical Micro:bit device (approximately $35), which can also be used in future Micro:bit classes.
