Helping ALL Children Find Their Voice: Building Communication Skills Through Music

Communication and social skills are critical daily living skills that help develop children’s ability to speak up, self-advocate, make friends, express their wants and needs, work together with their peers as well as regulate their feelings. Children with good communication skills grow up to be more confident and successful, more articulate and eloquent, more emotionally adjusted. Such skills are not only important while at school but throughout our adult lives.

Come join us for a fun interactive session of musical play as we teach kids to develop better social and communication skills through music. Session will include musical storytelling, fun vocal exercises, games, music and movement activities, as well as music and art therapy. The activities in this session are designed to work one-to-one, in regular school or settings as well as in an inclusive setting where special children and regular children from 6-12 years can meaningfully engage and participate. Materials and music will be provided.

Coding & Virtual Reality Workshop

Telebort is a community learning center that empowers students through technology. We conduct various after school programs, workshops and bootcamps to allow students to explore,collaborate, and innovate in the area of technology. The aim of this workshop is to encourage a hands on learning experience using the technology of virtual reality. Topics that will be discussed are Biology, Climate Change, and Geography.

The workshop will be taught using Google Expeditions. Therefore, students are encouraged to bring their smartphones with the Google Expeditions program already installed prior to attending the workshop. At the end of the workshop, students are expected to be more familair with biological diagrams of organs, understand the concept of climate change, and know the names of more countries and cities!
