Kids and families are challenged to think in design terms. What does this invention need to do? How can I build it so it does that AND stays together? Throughout the process kids and their parents tap into their critical thinking skills! These programs are drop-in, families with children ages 4 and up. Free with museum admission.

Come and create with us!
