Get ready to “make” summer S.T.E.A.M.-ier!
The YMCA’s annual THINGAMAJIG® INVENTION CONVENTION challenges kids ages 5-14 to show off their “maker” creativity!
Thingamajig® offers more than a dozen hands-on challenges designed to spark curiosity and showcase kids’ S.T.E.A.M. skills (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) while they have fun building or simply designing new inventions.
The world needs more innovators and hands-on problem-solvers, so the YMCA makes sure kids everywhere can get in on the action leading up to the actual convention. With both virtual and in-person activities as well as day camps dedicated to creativity, everyone can pick their challenge and create their invention through June and July.
Then, the YMCA invites participants and S.T.E.A.M. fans together for an in-person celebration/convention full of demonstrations and activities on August 5, 2026.
