Super Saturday

Purdue offers enrichment classes every fall, spring, and summer. The fall and spring versions are called "Super Saturdays". In the fall Drew took a "Weird Science" class and absolutely adored it. Even better, his friend Colten (a friend from SEFE who moved to W. Lafayette) was also in his class.

In January, both kids enrolled in classes. Andrew's was "magnificent machines" and Erin's was an art-based class (something about "beyond crayons"--the title eludes me just now). Again, Colten was enrolled with Drew. Both loved their classes. Drew made a video of himself as part of his demonstration. (I may try to figure out how to link that later.) Erin is shy by nature so the class was great at getting her out of her shell. Her teacher actually commented that her ability to be quiet, observe, and reflect was one of her greatest strengths.
