Age 7+ (or younger with parent's discretion)
Welcome to the ultimate "trash to treasure" challenge! This week, we’re turning the studio into a high-energy maker space where "junk" becomes art. We’re raiding the recycling bins and using professional maker tools to prove that the coolest designs don't come from a store, they come from your imagination.
You’ll become a master of construction as we learn how to see the art potential in everyday objects. From engineering massive cardboard structures to sculpting with upcycled metal and plastic, you’ll spend the week cutting, bonding, and building. If you love taking things apart to see how they work or building big, this is your playground!
Inside the Maker Space:
The Cardboard Architecture Lab: Level up your build game! We’ll be using the Chomp Saw and specialized cardboard construction tools to create massive, sturdy structures and 3D sculptures.
Upcycled Aesthetics: Discover the art of "Junk Journaling" or "Found Object" sculpture. You’ll learn how to prep, prime, and paint recycled materials so they look like professional gallery pieces.
The "Parts & Pieces" Edit: Ever wonder what’s inside an old clock or a broken toy? We’ll safely deconstruct old tech to harvest cool gears and wires for our mixed-media art.
Sustainable Sculpture: Using wire, wood scraps, and plastics, you'll engineer a 3D creature or character that stands on its own.
The Maker Challenge: Put your skills to the test in our daily "Mystery Bin" builds, where you have 20 minutes to turn a pile of random scrap into a functional invention.
The Grand Invention Reveal: We’ll finish the week by displaying our giant cardboard builds and upcycled masterpieces for a "Maker Faire" style celebration!
