Brooklyn Robot Foundry has spent years perfecting the art of getting small kids to genuinely build things — real circuits, motors and switches, not watch-someone-else-do-it demos. Summer Circuits distills that into daily drop-in-scale sessions at the Industry City studio, with builds pitched to little hands and short attention spans. Pair it with Industry City's food hall and courtyards and you've got a full kid day in Sunset Park, air-conditioning included.
What to expect
A guided building session where each child assembles a circuit-powered project with help from Foundry teachers, testing and tweaking as they go. Sessions run through the day at the Industry City location; the surrounding complex has courtyards, snacks and room to burn post-class energy.
