Coding in Motion
What happens when you add the power of computing to creations with moving parts? How can you direct the way your creation moves? How will your movements affect your creation? We’ll work with programmable sensors, motors, lights, and more.
Gift Wrap Printing
Print your own gift wrap in MAKESHOP using various printmaking techniques. Will your gift wrap provide a hint about the gift inside? Add a message to the recipient? You decide!
MAKESHOP Forest
Join us as we turn MAKESHOP into a life-sized forest! Using recycled materials and our imaginations, we’ll sculpt trees, plants, creatures and more. What part of the forest ecosystem will you create?
Create a Bright New Year
Join us in MAKESHOP as we explore and create with light! What will you create to ring in a bright New Year? How will your creation change the light that shines through it? What colors and patterns can you make using light?
Cozy Sewing
Explore hand sewing with extra cozy materials. We’ll work with fleece, felt, and other fuzzy fabrics and attach them using needles and thread.
Felting
Join us in MAKESHOP as we explore the process of felting! Use friction, soap and water to create a non-woven fabric from sheep’s wool.
Game Design
Have you ever wanted to invent your own game? Use your imagination and game logic to create a new pastime, then share it with other visitors.
