What is it?

Join us for our mini camps at our NYC location! Sign up for one or more days. Projects will vary each day. Mini camp includes the best of Genius Gems NYC. Each day will include unique activities, organized around a STEM theme of the day, such as Mad Science Lab, Tech and Innovation, and Code and Create.

Activities

Each day of Mini Camp will include magnetic tile building in our main space, different STEM related projects and activities depending on the theme of the day, and a break for snack and/or lunch. Depending on the weather and the schedule of the day, campers will be walked and supervised at the local park (16th and 8th). Please pack a lunch, snack, hat, and a labeled water.
