Through theater games, acting exercises, and playful scene work, students will build confidence, improve communication skills, and learn how to express themselves in front of others. This beginner-friendly class introduces the fundamentals of acting in a supportive environment where every student gets to shine.
Students will explore the “three tools of the actor” – voice, body, and imagination – while learning how to create characters, think on their feet, and work as a team. Along the way, they’ll discover important life skills such as:
• Speaking with clarity and confidence (great for school presentations!)
• Using body language and expression to communicate effectively
• Overcoming shyness and stage fright
• Supporting and encouraging others in a team setting
The program culminates in a fun, informal showcase where students perform short scenes and monologues for family and friends — a celebration of their creativity and growth.
Best of all, this is a program students can take more than once! Each session introduces new games, activities, and performance pieces, ensuring kids are always challenged, inspired, and growing their skills.

You’ll use Lando’s Scratch-based app on an iPad, so teachers guide just-right quests—no one gets stuck or bored. Playtest with friends—can they beat it?—and get a link to keep coding at home.
Receive challenge reports after each class explaining core learnings and a play link to your student’s game (plus the Scratch code) so family can try it at home.
Example Classes this Session:
• Reef Runner: Start with a simple collect-and-avoid game, then add shells to score and gentle hazards to dodge—learn how to code controls, events, and if-then checks.
• Jelly Jumper: First code a sprite that jumps between platforms, then level up with moving platforms and coins—driven by a gravity loop and a simple coin-counter state.
• Cleanup Quest: Catch trash, dodge fish, then increase spawn rates—all while learning conditionals, randomness, and timers.
Class Structure:
• Introductory game: Class starts with a quick, whole-group game to reinforce the day’s concept.
• Kickoff project: Students begin from the same starter project while teachers explain the goal; after each level, they can play a 30-second example for inspiration.
• Coding level-ups: Add levels (timer, score, lives, power-ups, enemy behavior) to deepen the day’s lesson and make a game friends actually want to play.
• Creative level-ups: Personalize with unlocked sprites, backgrounds, and sounds—while keeping it playable.
• Team collaboration: As kids progress, they’re encouraged to swap with classmates to playtest their games and integrate peer feedback.
Skills & Take-aways:
- Learn core computer-science ideas like sequencing, events, loops, conditionals, variables, collisions, timers, and simple state in Scratch
- Students learn a game design process, from defining a clear goal, building a simple first version, playtesting with peers, and rebuilding from feedback.
Awards and Accreditations:
- Lando is a WASC-accredited program with multiple awards—like STEM.org Best in STEM, Academics’ Choice, Parents’ Picks, and more.
- We are ESSA Tier IV certified through academic partnerships with Leanlab and Northwestern, affirming measurable learning outcomes for our classes.

We love all the classes that you offered. Thank you for continuing to provide great resources for the after-school program.
I would like you to add more new classes at DPIE. We like the Money Matter class and right now our kids are enjoying the class. Good to add a class with financials like that, then at least they can learn some basic.
Appreciate DPIE and all of the awesome classes you bring to the community!
