Dollhouse: Mini-Maker Camp | July 13-16 9:00-12:00 | $160 | Build, style, and customize your own miniature world in this hands-on workshop combining traditional crafting with 3D design. Every camper receives a solid-wood designer home to keep, using paint, wallpaper, and flooring to bring their vision to life. You’ll use TinkerCAD to design one-of-a-kind accessories, which we’ll 3D print to perfectly finish your masterpiece. Head home with a beautiful house-in-progress and the technical skills to keep designing and printing furniture forever! | |
Craft Days at LabSpace | Ages 4+ | 6/5, 7/1 | $6 per child with a max of $12 per family | Join us for kid friendly crafts and STEM activities! We’ll have everything ready to go, so you can just come and create with your children. Each morning we'll have a couple of crafts ready for you to come in and make your own. We'll gear projects for ages 4-9, but older and younger siblings are welcome. Our craft morning series is a wonderful opportunity for kids to explore their creativity in a fun and supportive environment. Please note that this is not a teacher-led activity. While we'll provide samples, craft supplies, and a mentor to answer questions, parents will be responsible for guiding their children through the projects. We can't wait to see what amazing creations you and your children come up with! Final Call: WEDNESDAY DEADLINE! ⏰ Don't risk cancellation! Craft Days only run if we hit our minimum pre-registrations by 5:00 PM the Wednesday before the event. |
String-Powered Robot | Ages 7+ (5-6 with adult helper) | April 24 4:00-4:45 | Admit 1: $10 Admit 2: $15 | Discover the cleverness of hinges and use them to design and build your own unique, string-powered dancing robot from cardboard. Learn how to make your robot move with a simple pull of a string! We encourage younger makers (ages 5-6) to join in the fun with the assistance of a parent or guardian. 7 and up will be able to do most of this project independently. |
Build a Giant Switch! | Ages 9+, Ages 7-8 with a hands on adult helper | May 5, 5:00-5:50 June 11, 1:30-2:20 | Admit 1: $12 | Have you ever wondered what actually happens "under the hood" when you flip a light switch?

You will engineer authentic NASA Sled Kites and build colorful windsocks to take home for outdoor fun. |
Lego Robotics: Amusement Park | Grades 1-3 | Carousel: May 13 - 5:30 Crazy Swing: June 10 5:30 June 12 10:00 Ferris Wheel: June 15 10:00 June 17 5:30 Twirling Teacups: June 24 10 June 24 5:30 | Admit 1: $15 Admit 2: $25 | Step right up for some LEGO fun at LabSpace! In these special one-day workshops, we'll dive into the LEGO Spike Essentials Amusement Park sets to build and bring a different ride or attraction to life. Each day focuses on a new creation, like the carousel, Ferris wheel, snack stand, or tea cups, where we'll use motors and sensors to make them spin, move, and interact. It's a fantastic chance to explore coding with easy, icon-based programming that's perfect for all skill levels. You can sign up for just one adventure that sparks your interest, or join us for all four to build the entire park! Activities will be appropriate for grades 1/2/3 |
Design and Discover: Water Science | Ages 5-7 | Thur, 5/14 5:30-6:10 | $9 | How do different materials handle water? In this hands-on lab, kids will test everyday objects to see if they "grab" water or "push" it away. We’ll explore the science inside a diaper to create "instant snow" and learn how to make water repel off our cardboard shields. Lot's of hands-on fun in this 40 minute workshop. |
