In this week-long camp, our young engineers will split into two teams and design and build their very own soapbox cars and team costumes. Children will learn basic mechanics and woodworking as they build child-sized soapbox cars. They’ll also have the opportunity to design their team logos and screenprint their logos onto t-shirts. Depending on their designs, children will also get a chance to sew, paper mache, and really whatever other making technique is necessary to achieve their team vision. May the fastest (and funniest) car win!

We will work mostly outdoors as weather allows. Children will also have opportunities to explore other maker crafts in the studio, spend time in our hillside garden and vegetable garden.

Ages 6-10
