Eurekus Presents: Maker Playhouse (Ages 9-11)

Architecture fuels fun invention during Maker Playhouse Camp! Students will work collaboratively to design and build a whimsical, life-sized cardboard fort. We will kick-off the week learning about cool art, design and building techniques. Campers will also each make their own Tiny Town prototype to spark imagination and invention. Then our crew will go big! Campers will work together to build their dream, a mega playhouse complete with all sorts of cool design elements – marble runs, moving parts, bridges, carnival games, electronic details, and whatever else they dream up. Class will wrap-up the summer season with a fun party, family show and tour. Sack lunch option available for purchase at check-out.
