Each summer Leonardo's Basement provides week long sessions of classes for children ages 6-16. Morning and afternoon classes offer creative project building experiences that mix art and science with technology. Sessions are held in June, July and August.
 The summer class schedule is available in early spring. Popular classes fill quickly and if you want to increase your odds for getting a preferred class you should join our mailing list. We will send you a message when the schedule is ready.
Print a registration form from this site, fill it out and mail it along with payment by check or credit card information. You can also send it via FAX with credit card information. Sorry, the online payment is still not ready. Later this spring!
