Check out the new Makerspace at the Saint Louis Science Center! Makerspaces
are interactive, community-oriented spaces where you can create and learn skills using a variety of different tools and materials.
In the Science Center's Makerspace you can explore science, technology, engineering and your creativity. Visitors can play, imagine, build, adapt, modify, work together and have FUN!
The Makerspace includes:
Air Ball: Play as you discover how wind effects different objects, then use the materials to create a game to teach someone else.
Float and Fly: Create an object using simple materials and then test it to see if it flies. Then adapt your design to make it float.
Sail Race: Design a sail using Tinkertoys and fabric and then send it down the racetrack. Can you modify your sail to beat the best time of the day?
Ball Run: Assemble the magnetic pipes to get a ball from start to finish on one side of the ball run. Work with others to try and get the ball around all four sides of the cube.
Rigamajig: Imagine and build something larger than yourself using the Rigamajig building materials.
Visitors can also sign up for a workshop in the Maker Classroom to learn a new skill or build something cool!
And be sure to visit the Maker Garage to interact with local St. Louis makers.
