Hands-On Chemistry

Fri, Oct 16 · 4:45 PM

ACE Academy

Kodely's Hands-On Chemistry Club is our most-requested program — and the one parents say their kids talk about all weekend. Every Friday is a new experiment: glow sticks they build themselves, slime chemistry, density towers, crystal gardens, elephant toothpaste, and a real take-home reaction kit. We teach chemistry the way kids actually love it — predict it, mix it, react, explain. All materials are nut-free, allergy-aware, and school-safe, and every session includes a "lab notebook" entry kids take home. The semester ends with a science-fair-style finale where every young chemist presents their favorite reaction to families.

The best hour of your kid's day! Every day after school, Kodely turns a Cleveland classroom into a hands-on studio where PK-4 kids build, invent, and explore — screen-free, indoors and out.

Kids leave curious, tired in the best way, and carrying something they made.

Pokemon Game Design

Tue, Oct 20 · 4:45 PM

ACE Academy

Kodely's Pokémon Game Design Club turns every Pokémon fan into a real game designer. Each week kids design their own Pokémon-style game on a school iPad or laptop — sketching original characters, naming moves, building stat-driven battles, and coding the rules using kid-friendly visual blocks (MakeCode Arcade). They earn designer badges as their skills grow, playtest each other's worlds, and leave the semester with a finished, shareable game playable at home. Led by trained Kodely instructors who are themselves Pokémon-fluent, the club teaches the foundations of coding, math, storytelling, and design — disguised as the game your kid already loves.

Daring Dashers & Jabbering Jammers

Fri, Oct 16 · 9:30 AM

Hugs & Bugs Club · Hoboken

Daring Dashers (18 months - 2.5 years old) & Jabbering Jammers (2-4 years old) will join together in this class. They will be invited to go on their own, make new friends, and get their hands and feet dirty learning how different textures feel and smell as they squeeze, dig, pull, pour, shovel, and fill all sorts of things. Along the way, they will be picking up an array of new vocabulary in each sensory adventure.
