Hands-On Programs in Art, Robotics & Design Thinking
Homeschool

Daytime STEAM for Homeschool Families

Our daytime labs give homeschool students hands-on science, technology, engineering, art, and math at our Liberty Street studio, while the after-school crowd is still in class. Students build, code, and design together in small multi-age groups.

Homeschool ROBOLab and Homeschool BUILDLab are running now. Session 2 starts the week of Oct 26 with three labs: Homeschool BUILDLab and Homeschool Digital Illustration on Thursdays, and Homeschool 3D Print Lab on Fridays. We're adding more as families tell us what they want. For the full story of what we teach and where the program is headed, read Homeschooling at Newburgh Creates.

🌱
No Experience Needed

Every lab meets each student where they are, so beginners and more advanced students are all welcome.

🧑‍🏫
Two Instructors

Dave leads the robotics and engineering, and Hanna leads the art and design. Our projects bring art and technology together.
