We bring the studio to you.
We provide the supplies.
we clean up the mess.
The Field Unit is a converted shuttle bus outfitted as a hands-on creative studio for kids (grownups are welcome, too).
We show up, open the doors, and get to work: making, building, and imagining.
The Department of Curious Things brings the experience directly to your neighborhood, school, or event. Kids get a dedicated creative space. Parents get something worth paying for.

For educators and administrators
bring the field unit to your school
The Field Unit is available for both in-school visits and weekly after-school programming, bringing hands-on creativity and literacy-rich experiences directly to your students.
After-school sessions run once a week for three hours, rotating groups of up to 10 kids through the studio at a time. In-school visits can be scheduled during school hours on a similar rotating model.
This is supplementary programming designed to do what the school day doesn't always have room for: open-ended creative exploration, storytelling, and making things with their hands.
Serving greater Nashville. Scheduling now for Fall 2026.
