ARAS Pioneer Teens Summer Hybrid Program - Day 1!
The 2021 Pioneer Teens Summer program -our 8th year- opened on July 5 on Zoom.Ā
This yearās teens are: Alice, Damla, Jasmine, Kris, Leyli, Sadie, and Soleil, who is a returning teen from the previous year. They were selected from over 60 applicants this year. Congratulations!
Lead Educator: Maria Rivas is a born & bred New Yorker, who newly joined the ARAS family of educators.
ARAS staff members: Allison and Kako, who support the lead educator and the program behind the scenes.Ā
Activity: After the introduction, we dove into a collage workshop, led by Dr. Athan, who has been giving this key activity every year since 2014.Ā The workshop sets the teens on to their two-week journey of symbols, self-discovery through art & art making. This year, Dr. Athan talked with each individual teen in the breakout rooms (Zoom) on her/their collage creation.Ā
We will find out what they are on Day 2!
