MINDLAB
KID FIT U.S.A.
K – 4th Grades
K – 2nd Grades
Mind Lab is an innovative and research based
program that helps children to enhance their
cognitive, social and emotional skills using
internationally-acclaimed strategy games. Mind Lab
has developed a unique approach that fills the gap
between school education and real life challenges by
teaching students how to think rather than what to
think. During the course the concepts are applied to
real life situations, allowing children to make
transference from game scenarios to real life
experiences and scholastic achievements. The
extensive research conducted by Yale University
endorses that the Mind Lab Method significantly
improves math and verbal scores as well as other

MONART ILLUSTRATION & ANIMATION
2nd – 5th Grades
Monart will provide Apple laptops with Wacom tablets and styluses for students to work on. Each child will be given
a flash drive that will back up their work. In the first two classes, digital illustration will teach students the process of
creating artwork directly on the computer using a tablet and stylus. Students will learn the basic tools to paint, blend,
and create special effects. In the third class, students will start animating and adding movement to their digital
illustrations (being educated in digital illustration first gives the students a good foundation to progress with). On
average, animating a character can take 2-4 classes. Once the students have completed animating two characters,
they will be ready to advance into 2-dimensional game design. As in the other phases of illustration and animation,
students have to illustrate and animate characters, design playing fields, and determine obstacles to start creating
their own comprehensive computer game. We anticipate 8-10 classes to design a full game.
