What kids will do
Build. Test.
Try again.
Build moving cardboard creatures, crash-test a car made from scratch, make a drawing robot, and more. These are a few of the projects kids will explore over six weeks of hands-on making.
Kids think and act as engineers: building, testing, reflecting, and redesigning. Each project starts with plenty of support, then opens up for kids to customize and experiment with their own ideas.
They’ll use hot glue, the cardboard Chomp Saw, and specialty parts to bring their creations to life—and take home everything they make.
Designed and taught by Lance Akiyama (opens in a new tab)

$325 per child, paid at signup. Cancel by December 22, 2026 at 11:59 PM Pacific for a $200 refund. The remaining $125 is non-refundable. After this deadline, cancellations are non-refundable. If EBMC cancels the class, you’ll receive a full refund.
What if we miss a session?
Missed a session? Contact EBMC about a makeup in a future class suited to your child’s age. Makeups depend on available space and must be arranged with staff; they aren’t guaranteed. Please let us know at least 24 hours in advance when possible—we understand that illness can be unexpected. Missed sessions aren’t refundable and don’t qualify for tuition credit.
How does pickup work?
Drop off at the start and return for pickup at the end of each session. When you enroll, provide parent and emergency contact details and name the adults authorized to collect your child.
What if my child is just outside the age range?
This class is designed for ages 8–12. If your child is a little younger or older, contact us to talk about whether it’s a good fit.
