Art Way Alliance 3D
Pokémon & Pop
Art Adventures
Starting at 10am, Art Way Alliance invites young artists to jump into a colorful Pokémon adventure! Kids will have a blast using fun Pokémon stencils to create their very own masterpieces—no drawing experience needed.
From Pikachu to their favorite characters, each child will design, decorate, and bring their artwork to life. Best of all, they’ll take home both their finished art and the stencils they used, so the creativity can continue long after the session ends. Come create, imagine, and catch some artistic fun!
11:00am Floreo VR Immersive Presentation
Step into a whole new world with Floreo VR! Participants will explore immersive, real-life scenarios through virtual reality designed to build confidence, social skills, and everyday problem-solving—all in a fun and engaging way.
Using evidence based strategies, Floreo is a therapy and educational tool that enables the development of important communication, social, emotional, and life skills. Guided by trained facilitators, kids and families will get a hands-on look at how Floreo can transform learning into an exciting adventure.
11:45am Chef Egg LIVE! Interactive Presentation
Get ready to level up your kitchen game! Chef Egg is back with a mission to give you the skills you need to succeed and—most importantly—have fun while cooking.
This high-energy event is designed specifically for parents, caregivers and students focusing on easy-to-prepare recipes, life skills, safety or nutrition.
Pokémon Inspired Eats:
•Bulbasaur Garden Bowls: A vibrant, veggie-packed bowl that’s as fresh as a Grass-type move.
•Charmander Chicken Wraps: Savory wraps with just enough "spark" to satisfy the whole family.
