World Building Series
World Building is the art of generating entire fictional worlds inside the minds-eye that feel immersive, rich, and nearly real. This specially designed program taps the young mind’s ability to continuously generate new ideas. children will explore complex topics such as economics, cartography, geography, and social studies, all in the service of crafting their unique creative worlds.
Through engaging activities, children will draw inspiration from the real world and their favorite fictional realms, developing their own simplified economies, geographies, and social structures. Our approach makes learning seamless and fun, turning these educational topics into exciting adventures that the children get to direct themselves. By harnessing their natural inclination to imagine, the program aims to foster an unconscious but vehement love for learning and expression in our kids.
