Step behind the curtain and into the workshop where imagination takes shape! In this hands-on scenic design class, students will learn creative problem-solving, design planning, and stagecraft techniques as they bring their wildest ideas to life. From cardboard to paint to clever engineering, we will transform ordinary materials into extraordinary stage creations.

About Your Extraordinary Saturday (YES)

For 1st – 5th Grade Students

A New Adventure Every Weekend

MITY's program for elementary students enables inquisitive, high achieving 1st - 5th grade students to continue learning outside of the traditional classroom.  Courses are intentionally designed to inspire inquiry, activate imaginations, and engage eager learners in hands on discovery that is not possible within a regular classroom setting.  While students are in class, parents are invited to listen to professional speakers on topics related to raising bright children, socialize with other parents, or visit a local coffee shop.
