Are You a Maker? Workshop Series
February 22, March 1, March 8, and March 10
The popular Are You a Maker? Workshop series returns with a new theme—everyday objects taken to the extreme! Work together in child and adult pairs and get hands-on with ordinary materials, such as cardboard boxes, paper, and tape, to explore scientific principles and engineer complex creations. Designed and led in part by Dan Schneiderman, co-chair of Maker Faire Rochester, the Are You a Maker? series is limited to 20 adult/child pairs. (Children must be between ages eight and 12.)
The program concludes with a celebration at The Strong where participants share their favorite construction with the public in a special display.
