figure it out

Explore real artistic processes, movements, and ways of making — and learn to critique like an artist. We stretch what we think is possible and make new possibilities. For kids who love to create and kids who think they “can't draw” alike.

Build contraptions and see the principles in action — levers, tension, motion, structure — with your hands, not a textbook. Break things, fix things, and find out why they work.

What makes something valuable? What does it take to earn it, save it, manage it? Kids explore money smarts for all ages — anchored by a barter project that runs the whole cohort, where a single small object goes on a trading journey to see how far its value can travel.

Build and tell stories across different forms. How does a story actually work — and how do you shape one that lands? For kids bursting with ideas and kids still finding their voice.

Get outside and into it: observing the natural world and its processes, asking thoughtful questions, and discovering the ingenious ways living things solve problems. Hands-on, curious, and maybe a little muddy.
