Description

Get acquainted with the child-directed and informal learning environment at Leonardo’s Basement.  

Children will use a diverse supply of fascinating building materials, tools and fasteners to design and build projects that spring from their own imaginations. In the process they will explore creative thinking skills and learn technical skills.

There will be three activity areas for children to sample: sculpture, printmaking and invention. 

Parents will meet with Steve Jevning, Founder and Executive Director, to have a conversation about the program and about the needs of homeschooling families for workshop-based programming.
