Gifted, creative and motivated 3rd-8th graders can super-size their Saturday mornings at UNC Asheville this spring. The University’s 21st annual six-week Super Saturday Program begins March 1 and offers a host of classes, from physics to improve theater. The popular program has helped more than 13,000 children from across Western North Carolina explore their special interests through hands-on learning on the UNC Asheville campus.

Some 31 unique courses are open for registration. Exciting new classes this spring include “Greek Drama Adventure” and “Create Your Own Fabrics.” In addition, creative kids can study pottery making, fiber arts, quilting, dance and photography. Budding scientists can take courses in ecology, the solar system or model rocketry. Students interested in becoming global citizens will enjoy classes in French conversation, Tamashii martial arts and Caribbean drumming.

Several University faculty members and highly qualified upper-level students teach Super Saturday classes, along with outstanding public school teachers and other professionals.

Super Saturday courses meet 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays from March 1-April 5. All students are welcome to apply; the registration deadline is February 22. Tuition is $65 for each course.
