Make-It Workshop
Wave Machine
Fusing Plastics
Hydraulic Arm
As Tim Gunn is fond of saying, “Make. It. Work!” And that’s the idea behind our Make-It Workshop, a creative and interactive workshop for innovators and other curious minds. We invite you to stop by Studio X (formerly Tinkering Studio) on Saturdays to try your hand at making. You can make anything from hydraulic arms to camera obscuras for optimal eclipse viewing. Make-It Workshop activities change monthly and fees vary. Open to makers of all ages (makers 12 and under with an adult collaborator).
Participants can purchase tickets at Studio X the day of the workshop. Workshop capacity is limited.

June 8: Rube Goldberg Track
Use your creative ingenuity to develop your own Rube Goldberg marble track. You’ll send a marble flying down ramps, barreling through chutes and bouncing off electric bands as you figure out how to control the marble’s energy to get it from the top to the bottom. Ages: 7+ Time: 11:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. Price: $10, includes all materials 15 projects available, projects are first-come, first-served |

June 15: Marshmalow Shooters
Practice your engineering skills while selecting materials. Learn how to properly use your diaphragm to launch a marshmallow out of your own personally constructed shooter. Ages: 7+ Time: 11:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. Price: $5, includes all materials 25 projects available, projects are first-come, first-served |
|
June 22: Marble Run
Learn what gravity, momentum, kinetic energy and potential energy have in common and build an interactive Marble Run (aka Rube Goldberg Machine) that is beautiful to look at and fun to experiment with. Ages: 7+ Time: 11:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. Price: $10, includes all materials 15 projects available, projects are first-come, first-served |
