Urban Workshop provides a unique 'shop class for kids' experience, allowing students to use professional adult-sized tools and technology in a real production shop to build projects they can take home.
Urban Workshop Summer Camp offers students ages 10-16 a hands-on opportunity to develop real-world skills in a fun and engaging environment. The program blends STEM concepts with industrial arts, allowing campers to explore various disciplines like mechanics, design, fabrication, textiles, electronics, woodworking, and metalworking. Students learn to safely use both traditional hand tools and modern power tools, as well as digital design software and basic electronics. Through project-based learning, participants build tangible items such as BMX bikes, custom shirts, light-up marquee stars, toolboxes, race cars, soldered copper necklaces, welded nametags, LED signs, wooden keepsake boxes, and even vintage-style hardwood skateboards. The curriculum is progressive, with four levels that gradually introduce more advanced tools, materials, and techniques, fostering problem-solving abilities, creativity, and confidence in a real production shop setting.
Students engage in project-based learning from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., using a variety of hand and power tools under expert guidance to build their projects.
This camp is ideal for young makers aged 10-16 who are curious about how things work and eager to gain practical, hands-on skills in a real workshop environment.
