The advent School’s summer engineering & design program enables kids to become designers, tinkerers, and builders. Design at Advent offers unique 2-week sessions for children aged 5-12. Each session is based on a specific theme such as wearable designs, constructing a contraption or massive builds.
Advent’s SMART Lab is transformed into a makerspace. Participants begin each session by sorting through recycled materials, learning how to use tools, and engage in the design process. Alongside faculty, designers explore the city, play games, and gather inspiration. At the end of each session, kids share their creations and prototypes with friends and family at a design expo.
