VAC Enrichment
During VAC Enrichment programs, students not only learn, but also identify ways to give back to the community with their learnings under the guidance of experienced teachers. This is different from other programs in that students immediately see the impact they’re making, sparking an interest in entrepreneurship and community service. The curriculum is based around the principle that every session, students experience a personal growth moment by completing something entrepreneurial that they can show off to others in their lives. This helps them fall in love with entrepreneurship and feel empowered.
Little Instrument Makers
In Little Instrument Makers, kids become both musicians and inventors as they explore the science and art of sound. Each week, students will build real, working instruments—like shakers, tambourines, xylophones, pan flutes, and kazoos—using everyday materials. Then they’ll bring them to life by learning rhythms, composing simple songs, and performing with classmates. Students will: -Learn what rhythm is and how to keep a steady beat -Create and play percussion and wind instruments -Explore how sound works through hands-on building -Compose short musical pieces using their own instruments -Perform original songs and explain their creative process in a final showcase This program blends music, science, and creativity to build foundational skills in rhythm, melody, and performance—no prior experience needed. Note: This is a hands-on, project-based class focused on making and playing music—not formal theory instruction.
