4th – 5th Grade | Gamer Palooza

2nd – 3rd Grade | Story Makers
There’s more than one way to spin a yarn. Create and share your own stories as we explore the art and science of storytelling. Make illustrated books, explore puppetry, learn stop motion animation techniques, and record podcasts! Hone your storytelling techniques and create your own productions through various storytelling mediums. Become a “story maker”!
6th – 8th Grade | RoboMakers
Build your skills, then build your robot! Makers will take a deep dive into the world of robotics as they gain experience with fabrication, engineering, electronics, and coding. We’ll explore each area of robotics through hands-on skill-building sessions, and makers will apply what they’ve learned to mini-projects and design challenges. The program will culminate with a multi-week project in which makers design and prototype custom robots.
Thursdays, April 21 - June 2
2nd – 3rd Grade | Planeteers
Get ready for Earth Day! Become a steward of the planet — a “planeteer” — and make fun projects that spread awareness of global environmental issues and help the planet. Reduce plastic waste, find new uses for the things we throw away, and harness the power of solar energy to make sustainable electronic creations.
4th – 5th Grade | Room Reimagineers
Reimagine, reinvent, and remake your room! Using tools and techniques from KID Museum’s Maker Studios (Woodshop, Electronics Studio, and the Digital Fabrication Lab), makers will design creations to enhance their rooms — from storage to nightlights and more. Learn the basics of construction with saws, drills, hammers, and other tools, then enhance these projects with electronics and laser engraving. Your room won’t know what hit it.
