Denver Christian is thrilled to partner with Redemptive Dance Ministries to host dace classes on campus!

Redemptive Dance Ministries’ mission is to teach the art of dance for the purpose of glorifying God and spreading the gospel of Hope to the nations through movement. We believe that He is redeeming dance, taking it back from the world to restore it to its original design, the worship and praise of God with our whole selves.

Calling all budding Kings and Queens to one of Colorado’s premier chess programs! With new lessons for returning students, our creative curriculum brings humor, stories, and “chessercizes” to help students apply lessons on and off the board. Chess education has been shown to help kids improve logic, math, and reading comprehension skills. Students calculate options and evaluate consequences, learning to overcome obstacles and practice visualization techniques to think ahead. Whether playing in our scholastic tourneys or with family and friends, kids love learning with PALS because we make chess FUN!

New coders and returning coders are welcome back to Fall Game Coding Club.

We will carry on from where we left off in the GODOT engine last May, this year on bigger computers (27″ iMac desktop computers)!

If you haven’t coded in GODOT before, come join us, we will give you a “starter pack” game to get you up and running and customizing.

This session will concentrate more on customizing DIGITAL ART, level crafting, playtesting, and we might even try out some other game styles like top-down RPGs or game engines like Phaser JS.

More sessions, (but only on Tuesdays), fewer video lessons to try to race through, and time… lots of TIME, to just collaborate and craft games that are 100% unique to YOU.
