Maker Studio

Our current maker activity (8+) is making a native species bird finger puppet. We're combining papercraft with outdoor observation to pick out your favorite native bird and recreate it as a puppet! If you can't stop in to pick up supplies, you can find the instructions on how to make one of your own on our Instructables page. #makered #papercraft #birds #puppet #instructables #makerkids https://www.instagram.com/p/CNX2VX0JZxV/?igshid=18n3fjd43h1eu

We've written a tutorial for making a Felt Flower Crown on Instructables if you'd like to learn how to make your own ornate flower crown at home! #instructables #flowercrown #fiberart #makered #makerlife #feltflowers https://www.instagram.com/p/CNNeyj_JQ67/?igshid=1fheeuvimzgo6

This weekend we're featuring our CNC lab in the Studio. Our 3d printers, laser cutters and routers are busy at work making things for activities and events. Do you know what CNC stands for? Computer Numerically Controlled. These machines are all controlled by computers. The designs they make are built in 2d or 3d design programs first, then sent to the machines to be made. #cnc #digitalfabrication #3dprinting #lasercut #cncrouter #ultimaker #glowforge #shopbot https://www.instagram.com/p/CMmzd_OJFc_/?igshid=1c8snhydd7dm

Looking for another fun engineering activity to make? Have fun exploring levers & scissor mechanisms with a few simple materials. You can even substitute out cardboard or chipboard for the popsicle sticks. #engineering #makered #stemeducation #simplemachines https://www.instagram.com/p/CLzXYVJpcHM/?igshid=12jbmyhvgvwci

Looking for an engineering activity to do at home? Check out our Day Vinci Popsicle Stick Bridge tutorial on Instructables. Make a self supporting bridge with no mechanical fasteners or adhesives based on one of Leonardo Da Vinci's designs. You will be weaving the sticks together so that the tension between the sticks keeps the bridge together and lifts it off of the ground. #davinci #engineering #instructables #popsiclesticks #weaving https://www.instagram.com/p/CLfOR-UJR4p/?igshid=1q5nlyqmtuugm
