In the bustling, brilliant state of New York, where skyscrapers kiss the clouds and taxi cabs shine as bright as buttercups, there's a tribe of extraordinary children who go by the name "Laserraptors". They're not your everyday, run-of-the-mill kids. Oh no! They're champions of the fantastical, high-tech game of Lazer Tag! Every Saturday, under the neon lights and amid bursts of laser beams, the Laserraptors come alive. Their leader, a 10-year-old with freckles and thick glasses, has been mysteriously nicknamed "Goggles McFlash". His signature move? The dazzling "Photon Flicker Flip". Goggles McFlash, with his colorful crew, dive into the labyrinth of the lazer arena, hearts pounding like wild jungle drums, as their imaginations transform New York into a colossal spaceship. They dodge and dart, giggle and twist, their laughter echoing through the maze, mixing with the zinging lasers and pulsating lights. Can you envision this extraordinary spectacle? Picture a vibrant, space-age ballet, choreographed by children, complete with laser wands and neon vests. They are the stars of the show, the superheroes of this story, fighting imaginary aliens, saving hypothetical planets, all within the limits of their beloved arena in the heart of New York. And when they emerge victorious, with their gleaming smiles brighter than their laser guns, you'd think they've just saved the galaxy. And perhaps, in their captivating world of make-believe, they have. This is the magical universe of Lazer Tag in New York, where every kid is a hero, every game is an adventure, and even the most ordinary Saturday can transform into an extraterrestrial expedition.

Building Character with Martial Arts. The Black Belt Leadership Academy has a rich history that spans more than ten years, during which it has been pivotal in aiding students to sharpen their concentration, bolster their power, and enhance their self-assurance through exceptional martial arts instruction. Our branch in Wauwatosa is a welcoming space that respects and includes students of every kind, regardless of whether they're novices or seasoned martial artists. Each class that we provide is meticulously planned to challenge students at a personal level, while also creating a positive and rewarding ambiance. This individualized approach guarantees that all our students feel recognized and motivated, which leads to a more successful learning journey. At our academy, we're committed to fostering an environment that brings out the best in each student. Our classes aim to not merely impart martial arts techniques but also to instill qualities such as discipline, respect, and resilience. We are firm believers that the values learned at our academy extend beyond the training hall and will benefit our students in all their future pursuits.
Our programs blend literacy, imaginative play, and design thinking to increase reading interest and skill. Creation stories along with tales of conquest and cultural tradition provide the context for our after-school and summer camp engagements where we journey through stories to help children understand themselves, our history, and our world. Our story began with, well, a story. Challenged by fans of The Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series, we set out to create a real-world version of the fictional training ground for modern-day heroes of Greek Mythology; Camp Half-Blood. Armed with no small amount of courage we set out to create a space for the stories kids love to live rich, full lives beyond the pages of the books. Eight years and three programs later we have served nearly 3,000 children with our unique brand of reading enrichment. Expanding the boundaries of the creative class is an important part of our mission and must include kids from the widest variety of families and circumstances. Our latest project, The Daedalus Initiative gifts students in Title 1 schools with science kits and other materials to further their knowledge and interest in STEM.
