Say it. Back it up. Change minds.

Got opinions? Let’s sharpen them. In Hot Take you will learn to build an argument, listen closely and question the tech, music and headlines shaping your world. At Ethọ́s Lab we believe innovation is never neutral, and neither is your voice. Try short debates with a crew of curious thinkers, then close the term with a speech you wrote and a final round judged by guests.

You will make: a research brief, a speech and a final-round argument.

Respawn: Gaming Club

You play games. Now make one.

Love gaming? Level up from player to creator. Take your favourite games apart to see how they work, then design your own characters, levels and rules. Games are story, art and code in one, and the best ones come from people who see the world differently. Bring your ideas and your friends, and finish with a playable game your family can try.

You will make: a level, a character pitch and a playable game.

Make the beat. Own the sound.

Black music has always been innovation: new sounds, new tools, new rules. Learn to build beats in Ableton Live, layer rhythm and melody, and mix a track that sounds like you. Along the way we ask big questions, like who owns a sound and where AI fits in. Beginners welcome. Finish with your own track and a listening party for family and friends.

You will make: a beat, a finished track and a mix to share.

Same numbers. New rhythm.

Think you are not a math person? We disagree, and we have the games to prove it. MathRemix swaps worksheets for puzzles, patterns, music and design, and explores the math traditions of Africa and the diaspora along the way. You will build confidence one clever challenge at a time, then design a math game and teach it to your family.

You will make: pattern and puzzle challenges and a math game you invent.

Invent a hero, write the rules, draw the map. In Atlanthos Dice & Design you create your own tabletop world, one you would actually want to live in. Mix storytelling, art and game design, and use our Makerspace to 3D print your own minis. Worldbuilding is a superpower: it lets you imagine futures where everyone belongs. Finish with a game night where families roll the dice in worlds you built.

You will make: characters, a world map, a playable game and printed minis.

Portal: AR/VR Studio

January 9 – Feb 27 ( 8 sessions )
Grades 5 – 8 ( older students welcome )
$340 for the term

Build a doorway into another reality.

Step into AR and VR design. Portal follows a simple rhythm: one session is a learning intensive, where we introduce the platform and teach the tools with a hands-on tutorial, and the next is studio time, where you get support to put it all into practice on a project you care about, like reimagining a block or a favourite space in your community. No application and no tech experience needed, just register. Emerging tech is still being invented, and we want young people of every background, especially Black youth and girls, shaping it from the start.

You will make: an immersive project built around a real community challenge, and a showcase.
