An exciting new development in the museum field and early childhood education, makerspaces give children a place to create and design. Our MakerSpace features activities in art, design, technology, and science. Children will have an opportunity to create new projects every time they visit.

Our MakerSpace offers opportunities to create works of art or design and engineer inventions. We offer special projects developed by our Educators as well as the chance to do your own thing.
