🌱 Mistakes are part of the making process, and at the Tool School we encourage kids to try, fail, and try again. Guided by experienced makers, students practice safe tool protocols, develop spatial awareness, and gain confidence as they learn to expand their tool use and technique.

Our curriculum includes hands‑on work with hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, basic mechanics, and simple electronics, all within a mask‑required, inclusive setting that welcomes aides and honors neurodivergent and q***r youth.

🤝 At The Tool School we build more than projects—we build community.

Throughout the year, students collaborate on deconstruction and reconstruction challenges, learning to take apart engines, fix bikes, and re‑assemble creations together.

Our STEAM‑based units weave art and design into every lesson: patterning, composition, and texture work with hammers 🛠️, nails, and metal‑stamping tools. The environment is mask‑required, aide‑friendly, and celebrates diverse identities and neurotypes.

Our Friday Cohort starts Sept 26 and tackles more advanced shop projects: motorized mechanisms, copper‑smithing, textile customization, and gift‑making. Students will use a variety of tools and gain experience in basic mechanics and electronics while practicing safe tool protocols.

This learning cohort is mask‑required, welcomes aides, and is intentionally inclusive of neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ youth. With no more than ten participants, each youth receives focused mentorship from skilled educators.

And that’s a wrap on our summer camps! We had so much fun hosting two incredible Maker Camps and two amazing Creative Play Adventure camps! And now there are two more original plays in the world thanks to these creative kiddos!

((Honestly, I think there will be a lot more productions + performances in our future with the start of our new Rainbow School cohort — KALEIDOSCOPE — for ages 7-10!))

There are so many creative kids already signed up! And for LUMINARIES (10-13) and PRISM (13-17) too!

There is still space for your creative youth to join us and feel that deep sense of belonging that comes when we collaborate in ways that allow everyone’s voices to be heard!
