WHERE ART MEETS TECHNOLOGY

There’s also Video Blogging (barcode 432803), for 13- to 17-year-olds, running Monday to Friday starting July 31 (1 to 3 p.m. daily).
Or, for teens with an interest in architecture, why not Architecture and Model Making (barcode 431817), for participants aged 15 to 19? It’s on Tuesday to Friday starting July 4, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.
There’s also a Robotix for Youth class (barcode 431830), for the 10- to 15-year-old set, running Monday to Friday starting July 17 (1 to 3:30 p.m. daily).

KIDS AT THE GALLERY
If you have a young artist in your house, Burnaby Art Gallery is the place to be.
The gallery offers a series of week-long art camps for kids over the summer, with each week on a different theme.

The youngest artists can enjoy Wacky World of Art, running Monday to Friday starting July 10, with morning sessions for four- and five-year-olds and afternoon sessions for six- and seven-year-olds.
The following week, starting July 17, nine- to 12-year-olds can enjoy Mixed-Media Marvels, a full-day course running 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. And for the week starting July 24, there’s The Ecology of Art, also for the nine- to 12-year-old set, running 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.
