Expect a neighborly, kid-friendly vibe as participants from the summer Soap Box Workshop race their fun, funky, eco-friendly contraptions down 17th Street in Brooklyn.

Since mid-July, Koko NYC kids have been hard at work designing and building more than 50 original gravity-powered art vehicles. Using sketches and calculations, they bring their creations to life with found and recycled objects and building materials, turning piles of seemingly useless trash into functional machines. 

In addition to the races, there are raffles, food vendors, and fun activities for the whole family to enjoy.
