Since 2017, our mobile classroom has proudly collaborated with educational centers and schools, fostering connections between children and their local communities and natural surroundings through engaging STEAM-based workshops.
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of our operations and we will no longer be offering classes. However, Sam Castner will continue his educational endeavors through his personal studio. For workshop inquiries, please reach out to him directly at 315-759-9740.

Learning About Biology with 3D Puzzles
Creating visual models through hands-on activities is an effective and efficient way for students to learn about organisms and their anatomies. Doing so helps children and their families protect local ecosystems by learning how to identify and protect certain species.
Sculpting Local Wildlife with Recyclables
Upcycling materials is a great artistic practice because it promotes a greener earth! During this STEAM-centered activity, students create 3D sculptures of animals using recycled paper, cardboard boxes, hot glue, paint, and simple kid-friendly cutting tools. Kiddos learn how to create art pieces they're proud of from idea, to sketch, and final product.
Exploring Ecology through Metal
This class was offered by our sister company, Sam + Lin Designs, in collaboration with ELEVATE Youth and Penn Yan Academy. In this interdisciplinary STEAM-based metal fabrication workshop, students exercised beginner metal fabricating techniques, learned about local ecology, and fabricated a milkweed plant and monarch butterfly sculpture out of steel.
