Leonardo's Basement offers classes for children ages 6-16 throughout the year, including:
After School Classes Saturday Open Shop Creativity Convention LEGO Program
 After School Each week students choose from several different project-building activities in separate areas of the shop. They can sample as many as they like or work in one area the whole day. Participants can build a different project each week or work on things that take many days to complete. The ever-changing choices include: science experiments, arts and crafts, invention, sewing and fiber arts, woodworking and metal working, Lego robotics, build-what-you-want, rockets and propulsion, sculpture, geometric structures and much more.

 Saturday Open Shop Just as the name implies, Saturday classes provide an opportunity for girls and boys ages 6-16 to build projects that spring from their own fertile imaginations. Instructors are available to help as much or as little as needed. Participants have access to all of the tools and materials in the shop.
Four-week sessions are held throughout the year. Classes meet from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

Young Builders It's Saturday Open Shop for 4-6 year olds and an adult. Our youngest builders engineer projects of their own design.
 Creativity Convention (school release days) While teachers are at their annual convention in October, girls and boys ages 6-16 can attend their their very own Creativity Convention at Leonardo's Basement. Participants attend three of our typical hands-on building classes each day - invention, woodworking, textiles, arts and crafts, etc. You can attend both days or just one day.
The class offerings and dates for the Creativity Convention change every year. Make sure you are on our mailing list.
