This program integrates all the concepts we believe in at Figment: S.T.E.A.M. principles, maker mentality, process art and play-based learning.
S.T.E.A.M.:
Heard of STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math)? We believe that adding Art to the equation increases interest and fosters creativity. This hands-on approach to learning gets kids excited about learning and working together as a team.
PROCESS ART:
We believe the process of making art is more important than the outcome. Adults are there to guide children by providing the right materials, teaching technique and assisting along the way. When children take charge of their own creative process, they practice critical thinking, make their own decisions and build confidence along the way. As our artists get older and more interested in new mediums and techniques, we work on skill-building.
MAKER MENTALITY:
Our dedicated Maker Space expands on the foundation of STEAM. Students learn through hands-on and often collaborative projects. This project-based approach builds your maker’s confidence and encourages analytic problem-solving.
PLAY BASED LEARNING:
Part of our child-directed philosophy is play-based learning. Play is the basis of experimental learning. The Discovery Lab offers something to engage everyone. It’s a place where your child can be anything, a fashion designer, an engineer, a scientist. They can also just grab a book or play a game with friends.

Loved:
My son loved this program and has requested to attend again next year. The Figment program provides kids with opportunities to exercise fine motor skills, be independently creative, and empowered by their creations. I was especially grateful for the consistent peer group the Figment program provided my homeschooled child. It was a chance for my son to grow his social-emotional skills in a peer setting. Stephanie was as much a supportive coach as she was a fabulous art teacher!
Improvements:
Whereas I appreciate the instructor's openness about how the day went, I also feel like it may be a tricky situation for the child because they are present at pickup. Is there a way to convey the information without it feeling like airing dirty laundry? Children are more sensitive than grown-ups are. I would like to see a little more consideration given to how the kids may be internalizing what the grown-ups are saying about them. Are they feeling shame?

My daughter had a blast during her camps over the last few days. She loved the outdoor areas, the animals, the creative activities. I loved how easy it was to sign up and pick up/drop off was very simple.
