Mark your calendars for the chance to meet with an astounding group of local engineers, artists, tinkerers, and inventors. They’ve been hard at work, and now they want to share their DIY creations with you.

Presentations to see, hear, and interact with include:

  • A 3D Printer that makes plastic models from computer designs right before your eyes
  • A potential Guinness World Record-breaking attempt using kinetic gadgets
  • Musical performances by experimental musicians using custom-built instruments

You’ll have the opportunity to meet with the makers, ask them about their inventions, and learn about ways that you can get involved with local making communities. Presentations will be located throughout the museum’s exhibit galleries. The event is included with regular museum admission.
