Event Details

American Academy, a program within American Heritage Schools, is pleased to host “Mindfulness and Your Child,” a virtual event via Zoom on Thursday, May 19 at 7 p.m. This event is part of American Academy’s monthly program, “Experts in Learning Differences” speaker series. Hosted by Alexandra Rollins, admissions director of the American Academy Program, the expert speaker for the May event is Piero Falci, an author and educator of mindfulness meditation and mindful living.

Mindfulness is a word that means different things to different people. During this event, Falci will explain why it is important to help children practice mindfulness meditation and prepare them to live more mindfully. He equates mindfulness to a sport in which mindfulness meditation is the practice, and mindful living is the game. While practice is important, what one does in practice is of less consequence than their performance during the game. Viewers will truly be inspired by Falci’s wisdom and learn valuable strategies for children to embrace life and become better human beings.

“There is a lot of violence and insanity in the world, and I am convinced that mindfulness is an antidote to that. I am devoted to helping individuals have insights that may expand their selflessness and compassion and lead to the growth of kindness and care for all sentient beings and the natural environment,” said Falci.

Falci is an educator of mindfulness meditation and mindful living and several well-established programs, such as the acclaimed Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program. He received his training from the teachers at the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and his MBSR Teacher Certification at the Mindfulness Center at Brown University School of Public Health. He also teaches the Mind-Body Skills Group (MBSG) Program developed by the Center for Mind-Body Medicine, as well as the Mindfulness in Schools Project’s .b (DOT-BE) curriculum for teenagers. He has written several books and offers a variety of mindfulness courses on how to apply mindfulness for the improvement of life.

The speaker series is streamed live virtually, as well as available for viewing following each event. The purpose of the speaker series is to educate families about topics that relate to mild learning differences and are relevant today. All of the speakers are experts in the various disciplines of each topic. The American Academy’s goal is to provide families with a safe space to ask questions and strengthen their knowledge about how to ensure the success of their child.

Event Details

Dinosaurs in Motion, the newest traveling exhibit at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS), will stomp in on Friday, May 27. This new, interactive, engaging STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) exhibit, presented by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, will run from Friday, May 27 through Monday, September 5, and is exciting for guests of all ages.

Dinosaurs in Motion is a blend of science, art and innovation using 14 magnificent, fully interactive, recycled life-size metal dinosaur sculptures inspired by actual fossils. The dinosaurs captivate guests while their exposed mechanics illustrate science and technology principles in a fun and engaging way. The exhibition weaves the science, art and innovation themes throughout and touches on each of these educational topics. The art portions highlight sketching, drawing and sculpting. The science segments explore kinetics, biomechanics and robotics. The innovation areas encourage observing and experimenting.

Guests will go on a highly immersive apprentice’s path that follows the story of the master artist, John Payne. The narrative of “if you can dream it, you can do it” is reinforced with experiential learning, as every dinosaur is interactive through touch and movement. Explorers will have the unique ability to manipulate dinosaurs via lever and pulley systems, as well as with remote controls, offering large-scale dinosaur interaction unprecedented in a museum setting. Additionally, guests will be able to test out their artistic creativity and newfound technological inspiration with hands-on activities at the Innovation Stations, where they can create a variety of art and science projects of their own!

Dinosaurs In Motion will be open to the public Friday, May 27, through Monday, September 5. The exhibit is free with Museum admission. For more information, please visit mods.org.
