Urban Workshop Youth Program

Urban Workshop Youth Programs offers hands-on activities including woodworking, welding, Arduino programming, 3D printing, electronics, CAD design, and silk-screening. The program is organized into four progressive levels, from Level 1 (Beginner) through Level 4 (Expert), and all students start with Level 1. Youth participants create projects they can take home in a pressure-free and relaxed environment that combines STEM and industrial arts, using both traditional hand tools and modern power tools.

• Ages: 10–16 years old
• Schedule: Youth programs offered year round with 1-week camps in the summer and fall and 12-week semesters in the fall and spring
• Price: Each level is $900 per student.

Urban Workshop Youth Programs is part of a premium membership-based workshop, makerspace, and advanced technical training center that was established in 2014. The mission of Urban Workshop has been to empower individuals through knowledge and hands-on skills. The organization is an American Welding Society (AWS) Accredited Test Facility (ATF), an LADBS Certified welder test facility, an LA City Approved Test Agency for welders, and is described as one of North America’s largest and most successful DIY workshops (Makerspace). Youth programs include access to advanced software such as SolidWorks, Photoshop, and Illustrator, and participants are part of a community that also offers free members-only meetups and events, free daily tours, and regular free small business training sessions for members. Parents have shared that their children enjoyed building and making things with their hands, appreciated the organization and variety of tools and design software, and were proud of the projects completed during their time in the program.
