Each week we'll have a new ocean-themed art challenge accompanying the Art Cart. Put your creativity and maker skills to the test and see what you can make with each week's surprise supplies!
With shiny, multi-colored scales, Rainbow Fish is the most beautiful fish in all of the ocean, and the only one of his (or her!) kind. When Rainbow Fish refuses to share his vibrant, shimmering scales, the whole ocean seems to turn against the vain creature. Unhappy that no one adores him anymore, the Rainbow Fish seeks out the wise Octopus, who helps him learn that it’s far better to be admired for being kind than for being beautiful.
Who: Ages 8+ What: Throughout the summer, the eSports Academy will be hosting a Pokémon hunting contest on our Minecraft server.

Players may also grow their Pokémon tally while attending any free play events over the summer. The top 3 Pokémon totals will be in the running for fabulous prizes. When: Tuesday June 7th and 28th from 1:00 to 3:00 pm No registration needed.
Drop by the Esports Academy and get some extra practice time or ranked play. Ages 12 and up.
Using the Space Engineers software environment, student participants will team up and work together to engineer and automate resource harvesting and production. Teams will also need to engineer and build space ships to transport these products in order to store it. The team that accumulates the largest storehouse will be the victors. Think of it as a blend of Minecraft and Legos in space. This program will be ongoing from June 1st through July 15th every Wednesday and Friday from 1:00-2:30pm. Participants should be able to make it to the majority of the sessions as this project will require a large amount of time to complete. There are only 12 spots available so registration will be required. For ages 10+ For questions contact gplesports@grapevinetexas.gov
