Maker Workshop: Model Museum

Step into The Forge and become both maker and digital designer! First, you’ll sculpt a miniature version of the science museum using clay and simple materials. Then, see your creation transform as you capture it with 3D scanning technology—turning your handmade model into a digital design.

Explore how today’s tools connect art, engineering, and innovation in this hands-on activity where your imagination goes from physical to virtual.

This workshop will be held at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. on September 10, 11, 12, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27.
