BUILD YOUR SKILLS!
Sunday Workshops
Our skill-building workshops offer a unique opportunity to work in small groups with our expert Maker Educators. Learn to use a range of tools, work with new materials, and build your maker skills.
Workshops are drop-off activities for students, and the fee includes museum entry. Come early or stay after to enjoy all of KID Museum.
Note: If you attend the afternoon workshop, the museum closes at 4 PM. To have time to explore all of KID, give yourself time BEFORE the workshop.
