Uncommon.org, a nonprofit that takes coding and computer science education to children and young adults in Zimbabwe, will hold a fund-raiser in East Hampton on July 20. Founded by Peter Kazickas, formerly of Amagansett, Uncommon.org has grown from a 2017 pilot program providing 20 laptops to young people to a full-fledged nonprofit reaching 5,000 young people.
Victor D'Amico's Art Barge began as a pilot program of classes sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art at Ashawagh Hall in Springs, seen here.
The Art Barge on Napeague, a nonprofit institute formally also known as the D’Amico Institute of Art, continues Victor and Mabel D’Amico’s tradition of the Children’s Art Carnival this summer in weeklong sessions. Plus: Story time, puppet shows, children's museum fair, arts and crafts, yoga for toddlers, and more coming up for kids and teens.
Since age 4, Ryder Nadel and his father have spent endless hours roaming dunes and shorelines collecting the garbage that harms the marine animals Ryder loves. Some of his finds are now on display in an exhibition at the East Hampton Town Marine Museum, where he has been a camper in the summer program for the last three years.
