PARTS AND CRAFTS SCHEDULE - Fall 2014
Afterschool at Parts and Crafts!
Afterschool runs four days a week -- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday -- from 3-5:30. Kids are welcome to come by anytime during our open hours to take a class, use our tools, and hang out and work on their own projects.
REGISTER HERE
Monday: Intro to Electronics. Join us or a crash course in electronics. We’ll take apart and examine scrap electronics, learn how to solder, build motors, play sounds, make things blink and spin, and build connections. Sample projects might include: Motor cars, drawdios, DIY motors, lightsabers,, solar-triggered bristlebots, and more!
Tuesday: Computer Club. A weekly meet-up for kids who like to code. We use Scratch for kids just starting out, then switch over to Java and Python for advanced projects. Learn the basic concepts of writing software and computation — variables, logical control structures (loops, conditionals), functions, and objects — by designing your on games and animations.
Wednesday: Open shop at Parts and Crafts! Learn how to make simple projects out of wood and foam: dynamos, boxes, small carts, ornithopters, jigsaw puzzles, mini catapults, and more! No experience necessary, all are welcome, come by and make something!
Friday: Game Day. Risk, Hey that My Fish, Pandemic, and a whole lot of Magic: the Gathering — all the games you could ever want to play! This is less a class and more an open meet-up for kids who want to hang out, meet new people, and play strategy games.
How it works:
Afterschool begins on Monday September 9. Our last day for fall semester is Friday, December 19. Programs are tailored for kids ages 7-13 but all are welcome. Kids younger than 7 must be accompanied by a grown-up at all times.
Rolling enrollment: Workshops run for four sessions and repeat monthly — if you want to come check out the space, they’re a great way to get your feet wet and try it out! Kids are welcome to sign up by week, by month, or by semester, or just drop in to check out a particular class.
Voluntary membership. If you like what we do and want to support it financially, please consider buying a membership to our space! Membership is not required for participation but it's a great way for people who are using our programs in an ongoing way to help keep the lights on and programs running.
How to register: Kids who are being dropped off independently must have a full registration packet on file filled out in person at the time of drop-off. To reserve a space ahead of time, sign up here! There is no cost to register, and all are welcome regardless of membership status.
Transportation: We are looking for parents who want to help bottom-line carpooling arrangements from Somerville, Cambridge, and Medford. If you have space and a willingness to organize in exchange for free membership, please email us at contact@partsandcrafts.org.
CSCL is enrolling for fall semester!
Are you currently homeschooling? Interested in homeschooling? Looking for alternatives to school? If so, we'd love to talk to you! CSCL is a year-round program for kids who want to make, build, play, and explore at their own pace and on their own terms. We run a community space with lots of tools, resources and projects, designed to meet a range of homeschooling needs.
INFORMATION HERE
How it works. CSCL is a member-based program, and kids are welcome to sign up anywhere from one to five days a week. Our schedule is built in an ongoing way, with classes based on what kids ask for and are excited about learning, with one-on-one tutorials tailored to meet the needs of individual families. Fridays are reserved for off-site field trips.
Dates and costs: CSCL starts Monday September 9 and runs through Friday May 29. Yearly enrollment for five days a week is $9250 with tiered day rates going down to $1900/year. We offer sliding scale options for all of our day rates and are committed to making space for anyone who wants to join regardless of ability to pay. Membership may be paid monthly or by semester and may be renewed mid-year.
How to register: Want to find out more? Come by for a visit! Kids are welcome to come by to see how the space works and see if it's a good fit. We are also available most days between 3 and 5:30 to meet with parents. In-person meetings are the best way to get a sense of the space, and highly recommended for families who are interested in enrolling their kids.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are planning to enroll your child and haven't confirmed with us for Fall 2014, please email us to confirm your spot!
We've had a lot of conversations with interested people over the last few weeks --- if you are planning to join us, please email contact@partsandcrafts.org so we know to expect you on Monday September 9!

About the Show
Performance Info: Performances will take place at Unity Somerville in Davis Square, November 14-22.
About the Play: In 415 B.C.E., Athens had just begun the Sicilian Expedition, which would become one of its greatest military disasters. Sickened by the senseless destruction, Euripides was moved to write what remains one of the most powerful indictments of war the world has ever known: The Trojan Women. Set only two days after the Greeks infiltrated Troy with their wooden horse, the play explores the true reason why men go to war and who their actions affect the most. Among the once noble women who now wait to be taken to Greece as slaves are Hecuba the aging queen, Cassandra the mad prophetess, Andromache who was once the wife of a hero, and the dangerously beautiful Helen of Troy herself.

SOMERVILLE ROVING ART EVENTS BUS
We are looking for folks to help us program our new M.U.S.C.R.A.T. Bus (Multi Use Somerville Community Roving Art Transport).
About the MUSCRAT
The city of Somerville, led by the Somerville Arts Council, has bought an old school bus, which has been transformed into a Multi Use Somerville Community Roving Art Transport (M.U.S.C.R.A.T). We anticipate that the inside will be used to conduct roaming art classes, performance art or dance, while the outside could be used to screen films or host concerts. The intent for our M.U.S.C.R.A.T. is to create a flexible roving catalyst for creation.
Perhaps you'd like to…
-create a comix workshop for youth in an underserved area; this might take place at Mystic River Housing, for example
-produce a dance performance in or around the bus in an unlikely location
-host a public craft night inside the bus
We look forward to hearing your ideas!

Jimmy Tingle on Robin Williams and events
Dear Friends,
As we mourn the tragic death of beloved comedian, actor, and philanthropist, Robin WIlliams, let us remember that for every star on Hollywood Boulevard affected by substance abuse and depression, there are millions in this country and around the world who suffer in relative obscurity.
If there is one positive development that may come out of this tragedy, it is the heightened awareness around depression, mental health and substance abuse issues plaguing the human condition.
Fortunately for us in the United States under the new healthcare law, it has never been easier and more affordable to get treatment for substance abuse, mental health issues or depression. If you or a loved one needs help and wants help, call your local hospital,
health clinic, or 12-Step program. They are all in the phone book and on the web.
Get the help you need. There's no shame in asking for help.
Thank you Robin for your life, your work, your genius sense of humor and your generosity.
God bless you and your loved ones and Rest In Peace.

As we mourn the tragic death of beloved comedian, actor, and philanthropist, Robin WIlliams, let us remember that for every star on Hollywood Boulevard affected by substance abuse and depression, there are millions in this country and around the world who suffer in relative obscurity.
If there is one positive development that may come out of this tragedy, it is the heightened awareness around depression, mental health and substance abuse issues plaguing the human condition.
Fortunately for us in the United States under the new healthcare law, it has never been easier and more affordable to get treatment for substance abuse, mental health issues or depression. If you or a loved one needs help and wants help, call your local hospital,
health clinic, or 12-Step program. They are all in the phone book and on the web.
Get the help you need. There's no shame in asking for help.
Thank you Robin for your life, your work, your genius sense of humor and your generosity.
God bless you and your loved ones and Rest In Peace.

CONCORD ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM - August 15, 2014
The deadline for application for our new Artist-in-Residence program is a week from tomorrow!
The Umbrella is proud to launch our Artist-in-Residence program for the 2014-2015 season. We are currently accepting submissions from artists of all media in the first five years of their career who are not enrolled full-time in an academic program.
The Umbrella’s Artist-in-Residence program provides free studio space and housing for a new artist to develop their work while connecting to the Greater Boston art community. The selected artist will commit to regular, active, and productive use of the studio space starting September 2014. In addition, the artist will be expected to participate in two open studio weekends and give three evening presentations to the community over the course of the year. At the end of the year, the artist will mount an exhibition of their work from the program and produce a digital portfolio, which will become part of The Umbrella archive.
The artist-in-residence will be awarded a 132 square foot studio with a shared lobby space, and will have the opportunity to live rent-free in a single bedroom cottage within walking distance of The Umbrella. To apply, visit http://www.emersonumbrella.org/resident-artists/call-for-artists/
Please forward this email to your networks or anyone you think may be interested in applying for this exciting new program.
Hope you're enjoying this fabulous weather!
