Winter break is the best time to build, invent and play! FutureMakers designs and manufactures hands-on playful engineering kits for classrooms across the US. We open our lab a few times a year for special play and exploration sessions, and we invite your child(ren) to join in for some purposeful winter break play!

We're offering AM sessions for younger learners, and PM sessions for mixed ages. Join in on one or all of our winter Maker Break sessions. Each two-hour AM workshop will activate a different theme:

10:00 AM - 12:00 PM - Ages 5 - 7
Monday 12/29 - Super Structures - building small and tall with lines and shapes
Tuesday 12/30 - Kinetic Creatures - Invent moving creatures using levers, linkages, and pneumatics.
Wednesday 12/31 - Let's Roll - inventing machines that roll using axles, wheels and wind-up mechanisms
Friday 12/2 - Electric Seen - machines that spin and mix colors and images in your eyeballs.

1:00 PM - 3:00 PM - Ages 7+
Monday 12/29 - Scene Machines - Explore linkages and systems of moving parts to create mechanisms that do work, or creatures that move.
Tuesday 12/30 - Story Machines - Create machines with screens that turn your drawings into scrolls that unwind and tell a story.
Wednesday 12/31 - WiggleBots- Create inventions that wiggle and draw using mechanical vibration produced by electric motors.
Friday 12/2 - Rolling and Flying - machines that roll and fly using motors and propellers.
