Taking pride in work does not generally come naturally to the adolescent; especially when that work originates in their own imagination or idea.

One of our key metrics of success in progress, therefore, is the “I made this face.”

We are excited to announce our 2023 -2024 Beam Project Governors Island: seeAsaw, to be built at Beam Camp City during summer 2023. seeAsaw is an interactive and immersive structure of 6 seesaws, connected by a spectacular draping hammock made from rescued fishing nets, which moves in wave-like motions that are reminiscent of the sea. seeAsaw was designed by Andre kong studio in collaboration with Ruben Correia and Ghost Diving USA.

Second graders from PS 676 Red Hook Neighborhood School visited Beam Center on Governors Island last week. As part of their ongoing in-class project involving reef structures, students are collaborating with our Project Designer, Serena, to learn about oysters and their reefs in the waters of NYC.
