A big round of applause to our OGE Reflections winners! Your creativity and hard work are truly inspiring, and we’re so proud of your amazing artwork.

To see their incredible work, visit the Reflections 2024 OGE Artworks

Please join us for our monthly board meeting on Tuesday, January 14 at 7:30 pm at the home of one of our board members. Please email admin@oakgrovefoundation.org for the address and to RSVP.

It’s time for our 9th Annual Brick Film Festival. Films are due by Sunday, January 26 at midnight and will be shown on January 28 on International Lego Day. 

This year’s theme is “ON LOCATION : GEORGIA”. 

Why Stop Motion? This format is a powerful tool for STEM skills. Planning, directing, and producing a film requires knowledge of physics and motion, problem-solving skills, spatial awareness, collaboration and communication, technology proficiency, and even coding/programming.

Learn more about how to create and submit a video for our film festival in the link below.
