Dover Tech Play Lab

Technology is a broad concept, more than just microchips and computers. In fact, technology is about creating and using any tools or machines that make a task easier or help us control or adapt to our environments.

Join us as we introduce young children to the basic building blocks of technology, including computer programming and machinery! The Dover Tech Play Lab allows children to explore coding, robotics, engineering, design, and programming skills in a fun, developmentally appropriate way. Each session in our hands-on laboratory includes guided instruction and coaching from Museum educators to use technology and to create, solve problems, and play games.

Due to space limitations, there is a set capacity for this program filled on a first come first served basis. Max group size for this program is 8 with one adult supervising each station.
