We got started in the Boston/Cambridge area last year as an extension/rearticulation of the work with kids and making and experimenting and doing that got started with Camp Kaleidoscope. The active, socially engaged, and curious technical and intellectual communities of the Boston metro have been the perfect place to meet the children and adults that make the work we do possible, and it’s awesome to think that we are, in our small way, part of what makes the area special.
In Boston, we run art, science, technology ‘day camps’ during school vacation weeks. We also run periodic building days, workshops, and other events.
Our school-vacation programs are located at the Brookline Church of Christ, who have generously allowed us to make use of their space. The church is located at 416 Washington Street in Brookline. If you’d like to know more about our day camps, have a look at our theory document, our FAQ, or write us an email at partsandcrafts@gmail.com . If you’d like to enroll your child(ren) in one or more of our sessions, visit our enrollment page.
Most of our other events take place at Sprout, a small ‘community science’ lab near Davis Square. Sprout is a new organization, but they’re doing awesome things. Check them out, especially if you’re in the neighborhood!

Where: Brookline Church of Christ

A week or invention and creation. We’ll have our electronics workbench, art table, a bunch of hand-tools, building supplies, scrap materials, air pumps, hot glue, duct tape, etc.
The only specific mandate of camp is “making things and making things happen.” The only rule is “if you’re not learning anything, and you’re not helping anyone, then find somewhere to be where you are.” To go along with this, , we have a few suggestions; don’t hurt anyone, if you make a mess, clean it up, and show respect for our tools, other people, and yourself.
We can’t predict exactly what we’ll happen when we put about 25 creative and brilliant kids and adults together for a week, but we promise that it will be fun, and amazing!
