Makerspace
Studios
Witness science and engineering in action through experiments and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) challenges!
Be inspired by the mechanical marvels and confounding contraptions our Mind Movers create. Catch this special edition of Mind Moving Studios in the Science Demo Area of the Atom Gallery!
Makerspace
Sessions
Make your own masterpieces of science, engineering, and art with our CREATE workshops, or take on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) problems with our CHALLENGE workshops.
CREATE
Learn how to use different hand tools to build prototypes of one-of-a-kind toys and projects!
Engineering Wonders (Ages 7+)
Make a square-wheeled car or a balancing toy with a little bit of math, physics and an assortment of materials from the Makerspace box.
School of Tools (Ages 5+)
From scissors to rulers to screwdrivers to pliers, learn how to safely and correctly use hand tools to create a woodworking project.
CHALLENGE
Take on some engineering challenges where teams battle out brains, wits and creativity to build unusual machines and towers!
Paper Tower Challenge (Ages 7+)
Test your design and engineering skills by building the tallest, strongest tower using seemingly weak materials- paper and tape!
Marble Sorter Challenge (Ages 10+)
Can your team make a machine that sorts marbles of different sizes using limited tools, materials and time?

Check out our previous workshops!
Electronics, Robotics & Coding
Robo Code (Ages 4+)
Learn how circuits and motors work to make a functioning battery-powered robot, experiment with electric current using different conductors and insulators, and create your own simple code to make our "M-Bots" come to life.
All About Coding (Ages 10+)
Learn what computer programming is all about, and learn how advanced code like artificial intelligence is used. By the end of this workshop, you might be able to understand how robots talk!
Sumo-bot (Ages 10+)
If you thought programing robots to do stuff was easy, now you also have to pit them against other robots in a friendly skirmish! Do you have what it takes to code a winning strategy?
Electronics (Ages 10+)
In this workshop, you will assemble different components to make a working circuit. The real challenge is inventing your very own device! Can you make something better than our mini-electric fan?
Science & Engineering in Action
Vehicles (Ages 5+)
Transform everyday materials such as plastic bottles and paper items into a land, water or air vehicle.
Cardboard Automata (Ages 9+)
Explore mechanical elements such as cams, levers, and linkages while building a moving sculpture.
Bridges (Ages 5+)
Build bridges with the use of simple materials.
Hydraulics (Ages 9+)
