Engineering Classes in Milford, CT

Calling all builders, tinkerers, and curious creators! In Recycled Robots, artists will design, build, and bring to life their own robot creations using recycled materials, cardboard, and loose parts. This four-week workshop blends engineering, imagination, and hands-on construction—perfect for kids who love to build, problem-solve, and think in 3D. Each week, builders will explore a new construction challenge as they create robot bodies, moving parts, and imaginative features. Projects may include robot vehicles, cardboard structures, bridges and towers, marble runs, and a painted robot city where their creations live and interact. Emphasis is placed on planning, trial and error, and creative problem-solving—no templates, no rushing. This workshop celebrates process over product and gives children the confidence to experiment, adapt, and proudly say, “I built this.”

Treehouse Architects is a slow, intentional, six-week sculptural experience where kids ages 7–13 get to truly build. Not rush. Not copy. But design, problem-solve, and create something that feels meaningful and theirs. Over six 90-minute sessions, artists work with raw natural materials, real wood, and curated loose parts to construct a one-of-a-kind treehouse sculpture from the ground up. We start with planning and structure, move into engineering platforms and connections, and finish by bringing each treehouse world to life with paint, texture, and tiny details. This class is part art studio, part maker space, and part imaginative world-building. Kids are encouraged to try ideas, revise them, and trust their instincts. No two treehouses will look alike — and that’s exactly the point. This is one of those projects kids talk about long after it’s over…
