The GIANT Room @ MCNY – Creative STEM Summer Camp
The GIANT Room partnered with MCNY to bring three weeks of Creative STEM Summer Camps to families with kids 5 to 12 years old!
Location: Museum of the City of New York, on 5th Avenue and 104th St, right across from Central Park.
Dates: Three weeks in summer, July 17th to Aug 4th. Register for one, two, or all three weeks!
Time: 9am to 3pm with the option for early drop in at 8:30 and late pick up at 5pm.
Program: Each week we ran two different camps, one for kids ages 5 to 7 years old, and another one for kids ages 8 to 12 years old. Camp themes were inspired by the museum’s exhibitions with a focus on coding and games for change, fashion, food and science, architecture, storytelling, animation, design, and more.
