Virtual Summer Inventors Club With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, staff quickly innovated to maintain relationships with students and their families amidst school closures. They delivered needed meals and supplies so that youth were nourished and could participate in creative, educational activities produced by the teachers and teaching artists they know and love at Central. The deliveries included instructions to complete the activities for learning and fun at home. For example, one packet included flour, salt, and other materials to make modeling clay at home. Staff also created an instructional video that shows how to mix the materials to make the clay and create sculptures. Math and reading skills were a focus, with youth reading instructions and measuring out needed ingredients. TRANSIT ARTS staff took the lead in providing our “Inventors Club” virtual summer camp via these videos and live web instruction for 40 kids while government “stay at home” orders were in effect.
