SUMMARY:Salsarobics
DESCRIPTION:Get Ready to Move with SALSArobics!\nJoin Esther Gutierrez Sloan every Friday for a dynamic workout that blends fun\, rhythm\, and full-body movement. This class isn’t just about exercise – it’s about joy\, discovery\, and the thrill of dance! \nThroughout the session\, participants choose their intensity level – low\, moderate\, or high – while moving to irresistible Latin\, Caribbean\, Spanish\, and African beats. Options for both low-impact and high-impact movements allow everyone to customize their experience. \nEach class delivers an energizing workout that averages 4\,000 to 4\,200 steps\, with varying degrees of intensity. Esther integrates the Total Body Training (TBT) Systems Methodology to support proper posture and promote muscle conditioning.

She has performed on national and local television in Illinois\, California\, Florida\, and New York. In addition to leading classes\, she has presented SALSArobics at fitness conventions\, schools\, health clubs\, ethnic festivals\, and international events. \nIn recognition of her groundbreaking work\, Esther was inducted into the National Fitness Hall of Fame in 2010.

SUMMARY:Overture Games: Create Digital Worlds with AI Camp
DESCRIPTION:A Summer Break creative studio for the next generation of digital creators.\nAt Overture Games\, campers step into the role of world-builders\, designers\, and storytellers. Using secure\, age-appropriate AI tools\, they create an original digital universe from the ground up. Unique characters come to life with strengths\, flaws\, and rich backstories. Immersive environments take shape\, from futuristic cities to enchanted forests. Compelling storylines unfold with conflict\, choices\, and surprising twists.

Mentors introduce new tools and creative strategies in simple\, practical steps. Team brainstorming sessions spark bold ideas and fresh perspectives. Interactive build challenges push creativity further and encourage smart problem-solving. \nHigh-energy activities like “Real or AI?” sharpen critical thinking. Campers analyze images\, stories\, and media to decide what humans created and what AI generated. Group discussions explore bias\, accuracy\, and digital responsibility. Real-world examples help kids practice ethical and thoughtful AI use. \nCertified STEM Pro mentors lead every session with enthusiasm and support. Clear instruction helps beginners feel confident from day one. Advanced prompts and optional challenges keep experienced creators fully engaged. A safe\, collaborative environment encourages curiosity and risk-taking. \nBy the end of the week\, each camper completes a fully developed digital world. Finished projects include characters\, environments\, lore\, and governing rules. Stronger creative skills\, sharper critical thinking\, and a polished world to proudly share make this an unforgettable summer experience. \nGrades 1st – 5th \n*Aspen Buckingham and Steven Jiang\, co-founders of Overture Games\, are on a mission to revolutionize music education through video games.
