This month, we?re sharing opportunities to help stage
our comeback and asking for your support.
While
we aren?t able to offer our Youth Performances and other
in-person programs for young people, we?re keeping our
commitment to serve Austin children and families in
creative and collaborative ways.
One of those
ways is the Performance Robots course from the TPA
Scenic Studio. In this online course, UT students and
Austin elementary students are working together to
design and build programmable robots that can be
remotely controlled via the internet. On top of an
already busy virtual-class-filled schedule, Eva
Rosenthal, 2nd grade teacher at Metz-S?nchez Elementary
School, enthusiastically agreed to be the robot club
sponsor, and developed a STEAM-centered lesson plan for
the club. The elementary students are creating initial
drawings and stories, and the UT Austin students are
bringing these robot designs to life in consultation and
collaboration with their young design partners.
Would you help resource this collaboration and others
like it? Your gift of $150 or more will support TPA?s
programs that keep learning innovative and fun in this
unusual time. Donors at this level in October will
receive free access to our virtual programming through
December 31. We are grateful for your donation in any
amount. |
