Neuron Garage

Neuron Garage focuses on problem-solving and engineering, using open-ended activities to stretch campers' creativity and ingenuity. The result is a camper who uses a growth mindset by thinking, building, and learning from positive feedback and encouragement.

Instead of going from activity to activity, students only focus on one for the whole week, given little instruction on how to reach the end. They bounce ideas off each other, try new things, and learn to keep pushing to find new solutions.

The weekly challenges have different themes and missions, ranging from building mini carnival rides, transporting secret messages through hand-made rockets, or even time-traveling challenges, with a different challenge set in a different time period. The camp is not just about learning the growth mindset. Instead, different periods throughout the day focus on play-time and social time to build trust and friendship.

The Austin summer camps last from June 6th through August 12th, from 9:30 am. to 3 pm, with extended hours until 6 p.m. Kids get divided into two groups, one for 5 to 7-year-olds and another for 8 to 12-year-olds. Your child can choose to stay for one week, a few weeks, or the whole summer.
