Afterschool Programs @TAPA
Why should you join an after school program through TAPA? First off, we have a great time. And even though it means a little more screen time each day, it's also a chance to get to hang out and see people we don't get to see during the day. It's low-key and a chance to be creative and free to try different things together. If you have an idea for a club, let us know! What: TAPA ELECTRONICS Who: Mr. Lopez (mr.lopez@tapaprovidence.org) When: Fridays After-School (3:30 to 4:30) Where: https://meet.google.com/lookup/gugyuxrqua Why: In this Club, you'll get to build and design electronics, mixing art with engineering and building. If you are interested in technology, this is a place for you to be. Hit up Mr. Lopez or join the link Friday after school. What: CREATIVE WRITING STUDIO Who: Mr. Ricky (mr.strickler@tapaprovidence.org) When: Tuesdays and Thursdays After-School (3:30 to 4:30) Where: https://meet.google.com/lookup/cwxikqjumo Why: In Creative Writing, we work on writing our own poems, songs, and stories. If you sing, rap, tell stories, or just like writing, you should come hang out with us. We give each other feedback to improve our work but also show each other a lot of love. Hope to see you there! What: EMPOWERMENT GROUP FOR STUDENTS WHO IDENTIFY AS FEMALE Who: Ms. Svetlana (ms.goretaya@tapaprovidence.org) When: Tuesdays After-School (3:30 to 4:30) Where: https://meet.google.com/yyi-trbb-qeg Why: The Empowerment Group for students who Identify as Female is a chance to connect with other young female-identifying students at the school and discuss what’s going on in the school and in the world. It is a great way to share space and support each other throughout the year. What: STUDY GROUP Who: Ms. Svetlana (ms.goretaya@tapaprovidence.org) When: Wednesdays After-School (3:30 to 4:30) Where: https://meet.google.com/cdu-fvco-pkb Why: This group is a chance to unwind at the end of the day, talk through how things went, and get some work done together if you want to. It’s low pressure and the first goal is keep our stress levels low by supporting one another. ![]() @New Urban Arts

VIRTUAL ART & DESIGN LAB FOR TEENS The Museum's weekly virtual drop-in sessions for teens are once again running on Fridays from 3-5pm. The theme is "Paper Arts Social" -- all folks need to participate is something to draw with and wanting to connect with other artsy people. These are relaxed sessions where we provide some themes and prompts, it's more like a drawing club than a formal class.
