You can make music! In this month’s Family Fun Science, we’ll be using our science knowledge and basic recycled materials to make musical instruments. You’ll see that musical instruments don’t have to be fancy or expensive. All it takes is basic knowledge of what makes sound and materials to make those vibrations happen.
After a time of building, we’ll have a jam session where we can all play together.
The program is limited to the first 30 children to arrive.
For additional information, please email Laura at [email protected] or call (815) 756-9568 ext. 3350.
