Each child takes home their finished build, a Kids Workshops apron, an achievement pin, and a certificate. The kit also includes a STEAM extension activity to keep kids engaged after the workshop wraps — with connections to real-world pro trades careers built right in. The whole build typically takes around 30 minutes, making it an easy and rewarding Saturday morning outing.
