Available spots
Service Description
Ever wondered what a galaxy made of papier-mâché looks like? Or how chemistry can change the color of your artwork? In this hands-on, sensory-friendly course, we’ll dive into big science topics, like astronomy, biology, chemistry, and ecology, and bring them to life through creative art projects! Each week, students will explore fascinating science facts through interactive lessons and fun videos, followed by an exciting art activity that connects to the day’s theme. From crafting cell models to illustrating food chains and ecosystems, this class is all about learning by doing—using color, texture, movement, and imagination. We’ll end the session with a student art gallery and pizza party to celebrate our scientific masterpieces with friends and family!
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
