Museum maker programming can span from after-school and weekend sessions to summer camps and school field trip offerings.
Having children respond to a collection, using the objects as inspiration for their own tinkering and making, can encourage them to engage with the collection in greater depth.
This is a fun, hands-on course where you will work alongside colleagues to develop your maker-based practices. This half or full day course is delivered at your museum for education and learning teams.
