“What can a box become? A rocket ship, a castle, or maybe even a robot? But how do we make it sturdy, and why does it tip over sometimes?” In this Lab 201™ module, children will transform simple ideas into extraordinary creations, discovering the science and engineering principles that bring their imaginations to life.


Perfectly complementing the artistic explorations of Not a Box in Art 201™, this module introduces students aged 5+ to the basics of design, construction, and problem-solving. Through playful experiments and hands-on projects, young learners will explore concepts like balance, stability, and structure, all while creating their own innovative models.


This course is designed to foster independent exploration, but parents are always welcome to join in the fun. All supplies are included, so your child can dive right into the joy of inventing and building.


Ready to unlock creativity and develop engineering skills? Start with Building Beyond the Box and watch as simple materials transform into boundless possibilities!

Frequently asked questions
FAQ 1 What happens if I miss a class?
If you feel sick, please stay home and apply a catch-up lesson at a later time. Or, if you feel well enough, please join your session online via our app or this website. Regrettably, we can only provide catch-up lessons within your enrolled term based on availability. Any unused credit cannot be carried over to the following term.
FAQ 2 What's your refund policy in a nutshell?
For the fairness of the other students, for our clever tutors who provide the lessons that you love, the studio cannot offer a refund if you change your mind. Our in-studio workshops are strictly made up of the limited number of students enrolled before the start of each school term and have the appropriate resources allocated to accommodate the optimal learning experience for all students in the course. To ensure the staff and supplies can be maintained for the course, payment for their use cannot be refunded so that the remaining students may continue the learning and development they paid for. In the event of Covid-19 restrictions, workshops will resume online. No refund can be issued if you decide not to participate in online sessions.
FAQ 3 What do I need to bring to class?
If you are joining the workshop in person, just bring your lovely self! If you are a private lesson student, feel free to bring your own device, please allow half to one lesson period for your tutor to have your device set up to the studio standard. If you are joining online, great! Ensure your device is fully charged, and check with your tutor beforehand about what supplies you may need to prepare.
FAQ 4 Which class should I join?
Choosing a class that suits your age group would be a great way to start. Your tutor will advise you if moving up or down a level may be more beneficial for your child. Check out the 'Find My Workshop' page for more details.
