Activity Highlights

Skills Lab is a daily guided experience focused on building practical skills through hands-on challenges.

Led by Imagine Foundry staff and visiting instructors, each session invites kids to explore new techniques, tools, and ways of thinking in a structured yet creative environment.

What You’ll Experience

Participants engage in focused challenges designed around specific skills, such as crafting techniques, problem-solving tasks, or creative processes. Sessions may include demonstrations, guided practice, and time to apply new skills independently or alongside peers.

The rotating lineup of instructors and topics keeps each day fresh, giving kids repeated opportunities to try something new and expand their abilities.

Why It Matters

Skill-building supports confidence, resilience, and a growth mindset. Through guided challenges, children learn how to follow instructions, practice patience, and push through trial and error.

Skills Lab helps kids discover strengths they didn’t know they had while reinforcing the value of learning from experienced mentors and community experts.
