Check out some of our rave reviews!
BROOKLYN INDEPENDENT TELEVISION, BROOKLYN PAPER, DAILY NEWS, and many more…

We will introduce the children to a variety of tools and supervise them closely while they build their contraptions with hammers, nails, handsaws, screws, etc. ALL TOOL USE UNDER STRICT ADULT SUPERVISION. We will encourage the kids to plan on paper, sketch images, make drawings of their invention, and think out of the box. We will also spend time outside, collecting found objects and materials, and testing our designs at each stage. We will also take breaks to play ball and have free play at the park/playground: (the time spent will depend on the different kids and their needs).

We have access to an outdoor space with a slight incline one half block away that we will be using in addition to the Gallery. This will serve as the perfect test track for our soap boxes in their different building stages. The culmination of the camp will be the 3rd annual 17th street soap box derby.
