Hello Reader, Welcome back to this week’s Weekend Roundup of what’s happening & what to look forward to. In this issue we have curated events to include kids, teens & all the amazing parents as well. As we move through the everyday rhythm of our life & plan for the upcoming Spring break, here is a brief of exciting activities right around the corner! Events happening this weekend Spring Break at Schepvaart Museum Make your own bag charms or start weaving a cuddly sea monster. Find the missing parts of the sea creature or maybe fill in colours for the colourful world inside water – everything is possible this Spring break at the National Maritime Museum. View the agenda & plan your visit soon. Explore the World of Legos & Robots Immerse your kids in the world of modern technology – with building, exploring, and programming, all converging. This way, the kids learn to think logically, collaborate, and be willing to make mistakes, all while bringing supercool robots to life. The kids work in pairs, use visual block coding, and each lesson offers a new challenge that helps develop creativity and technical skills. Each lesson lasts 90 minutes and combines explanation, design, and programming. The courses last 6–9 weeks and are perfectly suited to a variety of age groups. Register here. Ongoing & Upcoming Events Meet Your Mask – For Teens – February 28 Participants will make their own papier–mâché mask with Lili Huston-Herterich, who will share her research in puppetry and masquerade throughout the making process. In later sessions, the group will learn how to use their masks with the dramaturgical guidance of an object-based theatre maker. The workshop will culminate in a public event at Hartwig Proxy.. Fun for everyone ages 12 and up. P.S. They have a special price for students of 25 euros! Click here for details.
