About The Event
Our student scientists explore science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics during hands-on, creative workshops in our Makerspace. Maker Days gives learners the opportunity to create, construct, and make something new at each session.
Maker Days is designed as a drop-off program, and as such it allows many of our home school students to interact with our educators and other students in a classroom setting. These classes are designed to engage, stimulate, encourage, and challenge young children with hands on exploration using a typical class arrangement.
First Tuesday of Each Month
9:00 am-12:00 pm
Cost Science Tots (Ages 4-6): $20 Members/$25 Non-Members
Science Explorers (Ages 7-11): $20 Members/$25 Non-Members
Please fill out our registration form here and either email it to business-office@ecscience.org or bring it with you to the workshop.
