The Thingamakids! Music Education Program brings children, artists, teachers and science together through sound experiments designed for K-8 schools. Teaching Artists work with children throughout the year in hands-on instrument building, music appreciation and the study of sound produced through made and found objects.

Summer Camp

Join our team of artists every summer with CAMP 510 and Junior Center of Arts and Science, in fun and engaging arts camps designed to expand the young, creative mind. Through interactive sessions that incorporate music, movement, visual art and science, campers gain a unique and well-rounded experience in creativity, collaboration and experimentation.

Thingamajigs in now proud a partner of CAMP 510, and thrilled to continue bringing more exciting and diverse arts opportunities to youth in communities throughout Oakland and the Bay Area.
