A hands-on program for youth ages 7–14 in the Hudson Valley.
BUILDLab is our flagship making and fabrication program. Students enter a fully equipped studio space and learn to turn ideas into real, physical objects — using professional-grade tools, materials, and a design-thinking framework that mirrors real-world creative practice.
Every project begins with a brief and a challenge. Students ideate, sketch, prototype, test, and iterate — developing both technical skills and the confidence to make decisions in the face of uncertainty. By the end of each session cycle, every student graduates with a tangible portfolio of work they built with their own hands.
Curriculum guides, session plans, and program materials for BUILDLab instructors and partner educators are available in the teacher portal.
