Pinhead is excited to be offering 6 weeks of Neuron Garage Camps this summer. Each week will be focused on a fun engaging engineering design challenge, built with recycled materials. Neuron Garage stays focused on one main building challenge for an entire week, requiring campers to iterate on their ideas as they face setbacks and successes. Each of the 7 weeks will bring a different design challenge so we welcome you to enroll for multiple weeks. Please note we will not be offering extended hours this year and pickup will be between 3-3:30pm. Lawson Hill Bus Schedule

No traditional rules apply in this crazy STEAM class hosted at Pinhead Headquarters, where students are encouraged to draw outside the lines, paint without brushes, and push the boundaries of what art is.

The sky’s the limit in this fun, unpredictable art experience.
