Tinkering Space: The WorkSafeBC Gallery you know and love has a new feature:
Introducing Science World's Maker Studio in the Tinkering Space: WorkSafeBC Gallery!
Learning how to use tools safely and experimenting with different materials is an essential skill for everyone to have and Maker Studio is just the place to go to get the practice and creative space to do so!
We also created Maker Studio to give you an environment that empowers you to listen to your gut and ask questions about your safety when working in a new environment with new tools. Our facilitators would love to have these conversations with you!
Upcoming Maker Studio Events
Monster Maker: Design and create your own cardboard monsters while you learn how to safely use a ChompSaw, box cutters, and Makedo screws. In this activity, you’ll question what parts will make up your monster, imagine all of its shapes and pieces, create the pieces from cardboard, assemble them and test out your monster moves!
