Families are invited to join us every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month for a free, fun hands-on project. These mind-expanding projects help children discover creative play through science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics.
Our next workshop will be: NEWSPAPER FORT!
Work together with other THINQubator architects to build a newspaper fort! We as a team will explore different ways to build a sturdy structure using paper.

This is a drop-in program for the whole family; participants can join anytime from 10am-1pm, but we recommend allocating a minimum of 30-45 minutes for each activity. Parents/guardians are expected to stay with their children at all times and actively participate in the workshop.
This workshop is recommended for families with children ages 7+, but all ages are welcome. This workshop uses paper, staples, tape, and pipe cleaners. It is open ended and requires creativity, basic motor skills and basic understanding of shapes from the participants. It is a group build activity; participants will not take home individual projects.
Parents/guardians are asked to use their discretion when deciding whether a specific activity is the right choice for their kids, keeping in mind that advanced activities may take longer and require more fine motor skills to complete.
This project is FREE, but donations are welcome. Brought to you through the support of the T Backer Memorial Foundation, SRC Inc and the Technology Management Institute.
