Tinkering
The Museum’s Tinkering program encourages children to do what they do best – let their curiosity take over! Explore the world of engineering by building machines and creating processes, and then explore what happens when you make changes or do things differently.
Programming occurs select Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2 PM.
How do electronics work? It’s all thanks to circuits! Come discover the magic of circuits through different tinkering activities.
