MakeSpace at Hands On

Calendar/Event Details

Located next to the Arts & Parts Studio, the MakeSpace is the “making” hub at the Museum. From electric scissors to art-producing robots and from silk screen presses to sewing machines, the MakeSpace is a place where you can learn new skills and let your creativity shine! 

Our indoor and outdoor “maker” programming taps into children’s natural instinct to create and promotes the power of learning by doing. As children design, tinker, and experiment with diverse materials and tools, they develop foundational science and math skills that can benefit them in school and in life.

Regular MakeSpace times are 1-4 p.m. on Friday, and 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Saturday & Sunday

FREE with admission.
