Junior Woodworking Design Challenge Summer Camp (Ages 8 - 11)

Join us for a week-long exploration of woodworking tools, their safe use, and their creative potential!

We will be using a variety of freestanding and hand-held tools to better understand how to design useful objects using wood and fasteners. After taking some time to practice the safe use of tools, students will be given a design challenge to solve in teams. We will spend the week exploring creative solutions, learning about engineering principles, and making something awesome (which we will take apart at the end!)

The curriculum of this program is aimed at younger learners, and will focus on tool use safety, practice through doing, and bravely making cool stuff with powerful and sometimes scary tools.

* Our goal is to serve under-resourced communities, female-identified, and gender expansive students to help bridge the gender gap in STEAM fields and trades, and create excitement and curiosity around these fields. We ask families to understand that there is limited space in our classes, and know that we welcome students of all genders and demographics.

SkillSet offers after school workshops, summer camps, classes for adult learners, and community outreach programming.

By teaching participants the Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math embedded in the objects they create, SkillSet equips the next generation of leaders and problem solvers with the tools to make change and build the future.
