AFTER-SCHOOL CLUB 

This program presents imaginative topics to provoke questions, raise ideas, and prototype artifacts. Challenges build up to a final project presented as a fun, interactive exhibit. Through physical and virtual projects, students solve problems and create applications and objects that express their artful side.

Create a MAKERS Club!

For any young person who is eager to create new things, wants to experiment, and is excited about new possibilities, we invite you to recruit friends and start a club at The Makery.

For any group of 6 middle schoolers or high schoolers who wish to commit to a 4 to 8 week Inventor's Club, we can offer a custom group program meeting once a week.  The best tool to understand something is to try to make it happen. Join us in this journey to think, question, build, test,  iterate, and celebrate artful new inventions. A small club size ensures 1:1 personalized coaching. 

Tuition for a 4 week program starts at $600 per student. Email info@nycmakery.com if you wish to organize a club and to refine a schedule and budget.

Girls make STEAM Program

Some girl power time.  Offered in June.  For Ages 10-13.

Our theme is crafting and coding artful gadgets.  

DIY TECHNOLOGY - From bat signal headbands to flashlight barrettes or massaging scarves, we’ll pose questions around the future of fashion accessories and prosthetics while challenging you to explore making with new materials and tools at our makerspace. We’ll introduce the basics of circuit design and techniques in crafting with soft circuits.

PROGRAMMING WEARABLES -  Discover the animating world of microcontrollers and e-textiles with an introduction to a weareable Arduino.  Get creative and hands-on with programming soft circuits you can wear.  If you have an item of clothing you’d prefer to transform, bring it in and we’ll coach you in how to re-invent it.

3D MODELING & PRINTING - Theme of the day will be prototyping.  You will be challenged to design and 3D print an accessory that fits your hand.  This accessory could be purely decorative or functional.  We can even explore how it might embed electronics in hidden compartments.
