Working inside New York City middle schools and educational organizations, Brooklyn Boatworks offers a unique boat building program that builds students' skills and encourages positive behavior development.
building CONFIDENCE
Our curriculum challenges students to build skills and and use new tools. By the end of the year, students are developing their own best practices and taking ownership for their accomplishments.
Developing Leaders
Each student participates in a Captain of the Day exercise at least twice throughout the school year. As Captains, students lead their peers in boat building and write a reflective blog post that appears on this website. For many students this is the first time they have been given responsibility for managing a project and leading a team.
reinforcing S.T.E.M. SKILLS
Brooklyn Boatworks runs programs in a variety of schools, including those with few to no STEM-related after-school programs.
