Our Explorers want to do it all, and blacksmithing is now another skill in their toolkit thanks to our awesome instructor Sarah and Nazz Forge ! Students carefully shaped their own hooks🪝 using hammers, anvils, and traditional blacksmithing techniques, learning how raw steel can be transformed into something functional🔨

Summer camp is underway and our Explorers have taken the helm both literally & figuratively, ruling the East River with their fleet of handmade sailboats. On top of that, our jr. mariners are planning and building their own woodworking projects, and learning about the wonderful NY harbor. School’s out, tools out!🗜️👷⛵️

Earlier this month, nearly 200 of our students finally sailed on their handcrafted boats during our annual Boat Launch - the culmination of a year spent building and learning together. Nervous smiles soon gave way to beaming grins as our junior boat-builders took in the exhilarating scenery and cheered each other on. When young people are given the tools, guidance, and confidence to build something meaningful, there is no limit to where they can go!

CHAMPIONS OF THE WATERFRONT! 🏆⛵️🎉
Our incredible students took home 1st place at the
2026 Red Hook Regatta this past weekend!

Our custom built boats, Blinky (winner) and Pinky, didn’t just float, they dominated the harbor course, proving that when you give NYC youth the right tools 🛠️, engineering skills, and mentorship they can achieve anything!

This victory isn’t about a trophy 🏆 (but that’s nice too
😉). It’s the culmination of MONTHS of hard work, hands-on STEM education, teamwork, and grit in our workshop. As actor Matthew Rhys recently said on the TODAY show, there is something truly MAGICAL happening at Brooklyn Boatworks!🪄
