Robot Revolution is one of the best place to go for robotics for kids and teens. Hands down. L

Thinking about great summer camps? We'll send out a few recommendations this week.

Looking for something for your kids to do inside? Try the following:
1- Outschool. So many wonderful, short programs. No commitment needed. https://outschool.com/
2- Put up a tent inside. Put out blankets, food, radio and books.
3- Put out a tarp in the living room and give your kids glue, glitter, string, paper, scissors, etc. You get the drift. Make sure to have an extra pair of clothing or robe to change into immediately afterwards. It's likely that a shower or bath is needed.

Outschool: Take small-group classes, from anywhere. 100,000+ video chat classes for K-12 science, art, mindfulness, english, social studies, life skills, and more!

One of the best robotics programs in NJ! It's a weird time, but if you're looking for a more serious robotics program, check out Robot Revolution. Grades 3-12. They follow all protocols and then some. They may be doing online as well this fall. http://robotrevolution.net/

Kids activities 'grab bag' when school starts. As a working parent, I'm preparing to create an activity bag for my rising 4th grader with STEM activities, arts & crafts, etc. that will keep him occupied and offscreen as much as possible when school is done. Anyone interested? I can make different grab bags for grades 2, 3 and 4 and would like to have this initial one filled with activities for a week or two (just to see how it goes). I would do bulk buying. You must be live in Montclair, Bloomfield or Glen Ridge. Otherwise, you'll have to be willing to pick up at a scheduled time.
