A hands-on program for youth ages 7–14 in the Hudson Valley.
BUILDLab is where ideas become real objects. In this weekly Saturday program, students learn to ideate, sketch, prototype, and build — working with professional-grade tools and materials in our Liberty Street studio. Every student leaves each session with a portfolio of things they actually made.
Each week builds on the last: design thinking, material skills, and the confidence to take a project from "what if" to finished. No experience needed — our instructors meet each student where they are.
