MAKE IT! Thursdays at Fulton's Workshop - September schedule

Come create with us!

Our MAKE IT! series is back.  Thursdays from 5 to 8 p.m., we offer awesome activities in Fulton's Workshop.

Each will have a focus or theme, but you can also come and explore the workshop if the planned activity doesn't interest you, there are plenty of other things that might, including micro:bit hands-on, our new Lego Wall, cardboard construction, magnet wall challenge, wind tunnel and many more. Come and explore!

Come explore hands-on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) projects for all ages!

We want to:

• Create a fun, interactive learning environment 

• Emphasize imagination and creativity 

• Make curious and thoughtful learners 

Come at any point to participate.  

Free for museum members. Regular admission rate for non-members.

* Additional costs will always be noted

MAKE IT! Schedule

September 3:  Chemistry of Color Lab  Investigate how color can change, separate or react through quick chemistry stations. The lab will include pH color changes, chromatography, UV color effects and simple color-mixing exploration.  

September 10:  Balance Sculpture Build  Design and build small sculptures that balance in surprising ways. You’ll combine art and physics while experimenting with weight, symmetry and center of mass. Balance sculptures are engineered to rest perfectly on a single focal point, often using precise physics, counterweights or kinetic movement to defy gravity. ​​​

September 17:  Make a Weather Station  Build simple weather tools and learn how people measure wind, rain, temperature and cloud conditions. Stations can include a wind vane, rain gauge, weather wheel or a simple barometer.  

September 24:  LEGO Mosaic Mural  Work individually or together to create mosaic-style designs using LEGO bricks or tiles. Explore patterning, color planning, teamwork and collaborative art-making.
