Build Your Universe: Father’s Day Family STEM & Art Experience

We’re building something bigger than events—we’re building a community rooted in connection, creativity, and intentional time together.

Step into a guided, hands-on experience where families create something meaningful side by side. During this session, participants will design and build a custom solar system inside a display box, transforming a simple activity into a lasting keepsake.

Whether you’re a parent and child, mentor and mentee, grandparent and grandchild, or loved ones simply choosing intentional time together, this experience is designed to strengthen connection through creativity.

But more importantly—this experience is about impact.

One of my earliest memories was building a solar system with my father at the public library in Bridgeport, Connecticut. At the time, it seemed small. Looking back, it changed how I saw the world. It sparked an interest in STEM, but more than that, it taught me to observe, question, imagine, and think differently. In many ways, that moment shaped how I approach learning, leadership, and life.

That’s the intention behind this experience.

You may not remember every weekend—but you’ll remember moments like this. And sometimes what feels small today becomes foundational tomorrow.

A portion of proceeds from this event will support youth mentorship and scholarship initiatives that help provide educational opportunities and developmental support within the community.

• A completed solar system display — your own “universe”

Because this isn’t just about making something—it’s about creating a moment that lasts beyond the day.
