The Studio Session: Design Lab - Freedom to Create (youth ages 8 - 11)

This special Juneteenth-inspired Design Lab is designed for young creators ages 8–11 who love to build, create, and explore.

This experience blends art, STEM, and confidence-building, helping kids learn that design is about thinking, planning, and making intentional choices, not just decorating.

Through hands-on creative and STEM-based activities, students will celebrate freedom, expression, and innovation while building confidence and having fun.

This experience encourages:
✔ Creativity
✔ Confidence
✔ Problem-solving
✔ Self-expression
✔ Hands-on learning
