Moonrise

Because learning together is way more fun.💜

Risers, let’s get outside.🌿 Each week, for our nature experience, we’ll explore parks, trails, and zoos. We’ll spot animals, learn about plants, and build simple habitats along the way. It’s all about staying curious, having fun, and connecting with the world around us.✨

Moonrise. Where kids build the furniture.💜

It's easy to find your best friend here.👯

NASA Spaghetti Spacecraft 👇 Inspired by NASA's giant antennas, Risers built towers to support marshmallows, learning about structural engineering and space communications. They faced real-world challenges, balancing height, stability, and strength—just like NASA’s engineers!

Glassblowing on a random Tuesday afternoon? That's kinda how we do things. Last week, Moonrise Decatur hosted an experience at Decatur Glassblowing with artist John Drury. Risers learned about sand casting and even made their own creations.🔥

This Riser is finding volcanoes on Mars as part of our Space Exploration & Mars Colonies experience!🌋🔭 Using NASA’s 3D virtual tour, Risers explored the Martian landscape and imagined where their colony would be built.🚀

Time to get messy.🎨

Rock climbing, anyone?🤘

We took a walking field trip to B-Side Coffee with our teen Risers.☕️ The vibe was perfect—teens ordered custom drinks, learned about coffee-making, explored the café, and just hung out. We’re definitely making this an every-week kind of thing.😎

When we tell Risers they can create whatever they like in our makerspace, we never quite imagine this. But we’re definitely not mad about it.😄🦸
