Looking for ways to expand your child's creativity? When things don't go their way, can they adapt? Buildwave® is a STEAM + SEL course that helps your child discover their creativity and resilience. During each class, your child will receive wave after wave of materials they'll love like blocks, bricks and other hands-on pieces. The waves of building are structured like a game, with energetic music and visuals elevating the experience for maximum engagement. Each wave, they build, then disassemble. Build, disassemble. Repeat. It's an opportunity for your child to discover their creativity again and again, but it's also an opportunity for them to fail without judgment. Builds will fall down. Friends will be reluctant to share. We guide your child through moments of frustration and equip them with strategies to adapt. To them, they're playing an outrageously fun game, but they're also learning fundamental skills they'll carry forever. Learn more at www.buildwave.com.
