WOW Wednesday
Wednesday, April 17, 2-5PM, is a WOW Wednesday at the Discovery Center, sponsored by US Bank Foundation. Craft with yarn and make your own adorable pompom-chick to take home and love.
WOW Wednesday is perfect for school-aged kids and their families and is a great activity for a school-break, early-out, and home-schoolers. WOW Wednesday is drop in with no pre-registration required — it is an enrichment program with no extra class-fee.
Miss Jean is also here every WOW Wednesday, with her chess, juggling, and logic-puzzles. She teaches beginning-chess to all, from preschoolers through adult, or she will play a strategic game with an opponent to match their skill-level. Additionally, she loves to juggle and can teach anyone of any age to become a successful juggler. Also, Sweeney has on hand three large cases of logic-puzzles, construction materials, and hands-on brain-teasers to fascinate any age. She can teach anyone; all ages and abilities are welcome. She will also be at the Discovery Center on Sunday, April 28, 2-5PM, so save the date.
