2024 Workshops

Workshops are the heart of what we do at Hatch Design Center! Whether your student is just starting to draw or already noticing the impact of their built environment and ready to design something themselves, we’d love to help them develop skills as they become involved in their communities!

K-6 Design-Build Workshop

Grades K - 6

Join us for a weeklong camp where you will design and build a project. The students will research, brainstorm, sketch, model, build, and then paint their own projects! Last year, students built their own planter boxes to take home. There are two separate workshop time slots. Choose EITHER 1:00 - 2:00 or 4:00 - 5:00. The earlier slot will be geared towards younger kids (K-3rd grade) and the later slot will be geared towards older kids (4th-6th grade), but feel free to choose the more convenient time. A free snack will be provided at the end of each daily session.

Teen Design-Build Intensive

Grades 7 - 12

Join us for a two week camp where you will design and build a permanent feature for the library. The first week will be focused on design, including site analysis, client surveys, sketching, and building models. Experts from these fields will join us to give presentations and offer guidance. The second week will be focused on building your design, and learning basic construction techniques while working directly with a professional carpenter. It will culminate with an installation and celebration on the second Thursday! Both weeks run from Monday-Thursday, 1:00 - 4:00. A free meal will be provided at the end of each session.
