Four workshops in America
These workshops are places where creative kids can design, develop, code, and construct whatever springs from their imagination. Here's the shortlist of best workshops for kids.
The Crucible, Oakland, California
The Crucible has regular, highly supervised(监督) classes, camps, and after-school programs for kids aged 8 to 17. They're doing something interesting. Students here will learn the details of construction, welding(焊接), pottery … glass blowing!
Sector67, Madison, Wisconsin
For the future scientist in your family, Sector67 goes deep with programs for kids aged 6 to 12 in programming, chemistry and electronics. A kitchen chemistry class offers lessons in how to make your own soda(汽水), another has kids building their own flashlights, and yet another has them decorating mini Christmas trees with voice-activated LED lighting.
FamiLAB, Longwood, Florida
It focuses more on state-of-the-art digital programs including coding fundamentals, 3D printing, and battling robots. It is just a bit outside the House of Mouse. Circuitry and welding means it's mostly for kids aged 12 and up who are comfortable with getting singed (燎) here and there. And if you're eyeing that national Maker Faire prize, this would be the place to get ready for it.
Vocademy, Riverside, California
When playtime is over, it's time to find a job. At Vocademy, high school students get practical training in trade skills related to construction, electronics, welding, and programming classes. Middle school students learn to make robots.
