After School Workshop: Makerspace Movers for Ages 5-7 (Session 1)

  • The Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine 250 Thompson's Point Road Portland, ME 04102 (map)

The Makerspace becomes your personal workshop for engineering things that move!  This drop off program every Tuesday for seven weeks is designed to introduce 5-7 year olds to using tools safely and the magic of simple machines. With tool knowledge under our belts, we will embark on a long term building project to create a car, truck, train or other moving vehicle.

Trained Makerspace staff will support youth makers through the engineering steps of designing, creating, testing, revising and sharing. As the making continues we will draw upon our imaginations to create environments for our vehicles, complete with drivers, roadways, or magical destinations. 

 Payment for the Makerspace Moves program is accepted on a sliding scale of $0 to $350 per participant.

Session 1 will run from March 1st to April 12th. Please note that you are welcome to sign up for both Makerspace Movers sessions but the projects will be the same.
