Creative STEM Residency- Theme: Young Travelers and Makers


  • The GIANT Room 550 West 28th Street New York, NY, 10001 United States (map)

DESCRIPTION: For young makers who dare to wear different hats and travel to new places!
Think like a pilot, explorer, and scuba diver, astronaut, chef, paleontologist, you name it! We’ll take virtual field trips to all sorts of places around the world and equip campers with the tools necessary to tackle age-appropriate challenges, work collaboratively, and think creatively. We'll visit places far and wide while building elements to help us get around as well as activities to do along the way. Set up your own forts, star gaze while we camp, visit mountains and monuments. Campers will master the design thinking process while working with a variety of tools and materials, from arts and crafts to laser cut models, on projects inspired by all the destinations they visit. Pack up your things and hit the road in this fun arts and making experience.
