You create your own world.
Welcome to The Universe Within—an immersive world-building experience that connects you to the vast universe inside and around you.
We are an in-person program and online destination that has lots of activities to help you imagine, invent, make and share your original world-building creations with others!
Increased Creativity
Students who’ve taken the program told us that they now have greater confidence in their creative abilities, increased knowledge of math, technology science, and engineering and better presentation skills.
Self-guided lessons
Three 40-hour units use hands-on doodling and simple techniques to help you design and construct signs, tools, machines and accessories that represent your character and features of your world.
STEAM learning
Activities meet Science, Math, Engineering, Visual Arts, Theater, and English Language Arts standards. You’ll learn scientific observation, physics, geometry and engineering by making functional sculptures and kinetic art!
Playing the role of world-builder, you’ll develop your superhero character, design features of your world, and invent unique gadgets and tools from cardboard.
