This winter, The Chyten Center in Newton is offering a wide variety of experiential learning programs on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. In the Saturday morning “Imagination Authors” program, Chyten students design a fantasy world with imaginative characters, plot, settings, conflict and resolution. Working together, they then actually write and publish their own book!

Also on Saturdays, students in the “Career Time” class play the role of doctor, lawyer, architect, journalist, scientist and mayor.

On Sundays, students are young entrepreneurs as they start with the germ of an idea for a business and take it through the entire entrepreneurial process in the Shark Tank Jr. program. On Sunday afternoon, students create and manage their own fictional baseball team. In doing so, they learn invaluable math lessons that include fractions, decimals, operations, pre-algebra, geometry and more!
