Needham Community Education

Calling all video game enthusiasts and imaginative creators! If you love building fantastical mansions in Minecraft, racing cars in Mario Kart, visiting islands in Animal Crossing or are just curious and excited about fantasy worlds, this class is for you. Students will work together to make virtual realities come to life. We will use our imagination to recreate our favorite video games through art, games and physical activities. Get ready for an action-packed class so fun you won't even miss your device!

Note: Students will not be playing video games or using personal devices during this class. This class is designed to take a common interest and expand beyond the digital format.

Instructor: Brett Shostek, Instructional Assistant, Newman Elementary

ACTIVE EXPLORATIONS: In addition to the outdoor movement and break times planned by each instructor, students participating in full-day Summer Explorations classes will enjoy a 40-minute active break each day led by highly qualified Needham Public School P.E. and Wellness Instructors. During this time, students will head to the gym or venture outside to get some fresh air and move their bodies. Whether it's a brisk walk around the grounds, high-energy running games and relay races, or exciting team sports and activities, this time is a great way to break up the day, get some energy out, and boost focus for the rest of class!
