Shakopee Community Education

This class is designed to help prepare youth to safely take care of themselves when they are home alone. We will answer questions about setting up routines to be by themselves when their parents are not home, as well as discuss common household emergencies, using the telephone, basic First Aid and more. This class is intended as a tool to help families prepare youth for staying home alone. It will not fully prepare all youth for the responsibilities involved with being at home alone. Taught in partnership with the Shakopee Police Department.

Battle Drones features an exciting combination of aerial acrobatics with an engineering design challenge that will teach students STEM concepts, teamwork and how to skillfully fly a drone. In Battle Drones, teams of students will build robotic launchers designed to fling projectiles at their opponents' drones. Students will be guided by experienced instructors in how to construct their launchers to maximize projectile speed and accuracy. The camp will culminate in an epic battle where students will need to pilot their drones to safety by dodging opponent projectiles while using their own launchers to take down opponent drones. The best drone pilots and launchers will emerge victorious! Meets three times. Please not this camp only meets M-W.

“Once Upon a Time…” is how every great fairytale starts. But what would happen if The Storybook got into the wrong hands? What if someone wasn’t happy with their “happily ever after?” What if they could change how the stories go? Instead of being King of the Pirates, what if Captain Hook was… crocheting? Poor Rip Van Winkle has been guarding The Storybook for far too long. When he wakes, he finds that The Storybook has gone missing and everything seems upside down. On his quest to get the book returned, Rip meets a multitude of familiar characters, including Snow White and her friends, a myriad of evil stepsisters and the pirates of Neverland. Will Rip be able to restore The Storybook and put everything right? Or will the next fairytale start with “Twice Upon a Time?” Twice Upon a Time is Storybook Theatre’s first ever original story! Why only experience one fairytale when you can experience them all? From the creative mind of Jeremy Day, come be a part of this epic adventure to set all your favorite fairytales right!
