About Maker Days
This STEAM-based series (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) will allow children to explore their creativity as they design, build, experiment and share ideas with their fellow makers. Participants will engage with the exhibits, explore nature trails, learn new skills, and above all have fun.
