A growth mindset is the most powerful tool a child can have for tackling challenges and opportunities they’ll encounter in life.
At Neuron Garage, Campers get hands-ons, repurposing their recycling to solve fun, weekly engineering challenges. Through the process, they have fun, make new friends, and develop a growth mindset.

Each week presents a new, specific challenge to keep the engagement and effort high, and another opportunity for your children to practice the tools that will help them build a Growth Mindset.
If you crash-landed on an unknown planet, what would you do? Would you stay and build shelter? Would you fix your engine or design a new spaceship to go home? This week, campers will race against the clock to create spaceships, shelters, and other necessities for outer space survival.
What kind of adventure park can you create with toilet paper tubes and tape – and loads of other recycled goods? This week, campers will design, build, and refine miniature rides and rollercoasters.
What structures and other spaces does a city have? This week, campers will discuss what defines a city and then build the parts most compelling to them – a skyscraper, a post office, a school building, a bridge, a public park – or all of the above!
During this week, campers will have the freedom to build whatever they want. While they will be limited by the materials and time available, their creativity will be limitless!
Can you build a castle with a working drawbridge? Can you design a catapult that fires accurately enough to defend against intruders? This week, campers will use two simple machines — pulleys and levers — along with lots of imagination to build castles, complete with offense and defense systems.
This week, campers will work creatively within the confines of various sets of limitations to turn recycled materials into a functioning arcade. We will celebrate their accomplishments by playing each other’s games.
If you could wake up tomorrow in any home, what would it look like? This week, campers will be designers and builders as they construct and furnish the homes of their dreams.
If you are not satisfied with the program for ANY reason by the end of the day Tuesday, you can request a full refund.
This summer, I am looking forward to building connections with campers and their families, as I believe connection helps us all learn and grow. I’m excited for a summer full of creativity, connection, and perseverance!
