We design, produce, prepare, package and teach over 80,000 projects a year to children ages 3 – 13 and train 90 teens in our unique Apprentice Program. All programs have a building and didactic component to stress the use of hands and mind together. Programs align with CTSS, Common Core or NextGen Standards.
