On 7 September 2024, we will host a commemorative screening of a 30-minute film created by the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, featuring first-person accounts of the unity, resilience, and hope that defined September 11 and the days and weeks that followed. As we approach the 23rd anniversary of 9/11, we believe that remembering those killed and honoring the first responders and all who raced toward danger to save others is critical to helping a new generation better understand the world in which they live and can inspire them to meet today’s challenges with compassion and unity. Following the screening we will also welcome program participants for a discussion moderated by a Visionary Network Member, alongside our panelists. You are invited to this free event, made possible through a partnership with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and AMC Theaters. Learn more about the event: 911memorial.org

This 4-week, repeatable series is perfect for kids who love to make things! Children learn tool safety, and get acquainted with various woodworking hand tools and techniques. They learn about wood as a material, and how to properly glue, hammer nails, and use manual drills. The goal of this class is to build children’s confidence through woodcraft. The focus for younger children is creating patience, developing fine motor skills, material exploration, and safe, proper use of the tools. More mature students will increase their focus to include craftsmanship, and more challenging methods of building projects and problem solving. We will work together in the same space, but age groups/projects will be divided into two groups based on age and level of maturity. This class uses mostly hand tools. We teach safe methods for sawing, drilling, and clamping wood in this class. We encourage children to disconnect from screen-time conversations and video game thinking during our time together. This is a time for children to slow down, figure out tools, how they work, and make functional objects with their own hands. Occasionally, we use a plug-in tool with students (like a drill press). These machines are used 1-on-1 with students and instructors. If you prefer your child not use plug-in tools, just let us know! Students are guided through a series of steps that exercise hand-eye coordination, problem solving, and creativity. Students make fun, high-quality projects to take home. All materials are included. Projects are changed regularly, so students can return month after month to continue to develop their skills! Drop-ins are welcome! Is your child curious about woodworking & taking this class? Choose ‘Drop In Date’ from the drop-down menu (please purchase 48 hours in advance so we can have supplies ready) and tell us which date your child will come in the ‘Notes’ section at checkout. This class meets weekly, 4 times each month Ages 6-12 years welcome!
