We’re thrilled to offer camps for curious kids who love making and creating with their own two hands. We offer camps for youth ages 9 to 14 which are instructed by experienced educators who are ready to support campers as they gain the skills to pull off some amazing creations!

Become an expert at designing tabletop pinball games with Ben t. Matchstick, the founder of the Cardboard Teck Instantute and co-creator of the PinBox 3000 cardboard pinball kit. We’ll start with building a fresh new game, using obstacles and targets of papercraft and whatever we can find. We’ll decorate, add 3D printed parts and laser cut elements. Finally, we’ll add some simple circuits and the Micro:bit to unlock scoring, lights and sounds. You’ll also get the origin story of the award-winning PinBox 3000 from where it was first born- the Generator! In the end, we’ll throw a big PinBox 3000 Art-Cade!
5…4..3..2..1..! Blast off into the far reaches of outer space and set your course to the Generator and the Flynn-we’re headed to Planet Cardboardia! Camp will begin with a week at the Generator Maker Space where we’ll use incredible tools: lasers, 3D printers, sewing machines, and more to make cardboard props, costumes, sets and puppets that light up, make noises, and glow in the dark! In week two the camp will move to the Flynn where we’ll craft our performance using our imaginations and all the fantastic creations we generated in week one! This strange and wonderful theater camp will be led by Professor Ben T. Matchstick founder of the Cardboard Teck Instantute.

In this camp, we will use Lego Spike Prime kits to teach the basics of programming with Scratch as well as cover other skills like problem solving, teamwork and iterative design. At the end of the week, campers will complete a FIRST Lego League (FLL) themed challenge to showcase what they’ve learned. Friends and family are invited, of course! This is the perfect camp for students that are on an FLL team, want to join or start an FLL team, or simply learn more about programming and other STEM topics.
* Thanks to “Summer of STEM” grant funds that Generator was awarded by the Vermont Agency of Education, we are pleased to offer this camp free of cost. The grant is intended to “support summer programs in technology, particularly those that are STEM related”, especially in light of the “need for student enrichment programs to address concerns regarding learning loss due to the pandemic”. Generator would like to thank the Vermont Agency of Education for making this opportunity possible!
Build your own instruments! Campers will create and customize a ukulele and wooden flute of their own. They will experience the design process like real engineers and designers and learn 21st century skills in advanced manufacturing. Campers will learn basic operation of machines such as:
