Introducing JARCineering, a cool new activity for our apartment clients! JARCineering is a collection of activities that are considered "missions" based on doing basic S.T.E.A.M. projects. Here, our clients are learning how a catapult works. Volunteer Kobie Alexander taught them the mechanics behind different machines like pulleys and levers, and how the styrofoam ball flies through the air and lands. They also got to come up with other ideas about how they would change it to make it go further!

We are looking for volunteers to help with a Passover Seder for our clients! If you’re able to help us serve dinner at 5pm on Thursday April 25th, please email Vanessa to sign up: [email protected] 🌷
