Students at Forge Makerspace work with real tools and materials on week-long projects they design and build from start to finish, taking their completed creations home.
Forge Makerspace Engineering Summer Camp offers hands-on engineering and STEM experiences where students build real projects from the ground up and take them home. Each week provides a standalone project, allowing families to choose based on their child's interests. Campers utilize real engineering tools such as woodworking tools, soldering irons, electronics, and 3D printers to design, construct, and problem-solve. Projects range from RC cars and lightsabers to robots, arcade cabinets, and planes. The camp emphasizes learning by doing, fostering confidence, creativity, and practical skills often not found in traditional classrooms. Students work in small, instructor-led groups, gaining experience with real materials and tackling authentic engineering challenges.
A typical day includes drop-off, a focused morning work block for building, a snack break, park time with lunch and outdoor play, an afternoon work block, and cleanup before pick-up.
This camp is ideal for curious, creative students who love building, tinkering, and learning by doing, regardless of prior engineering or STEM experience.
