Tinkering Space: The WorkSafeBC Gallery you know and love has a new feature:

Introducing Science World's Maker Studio in the Tinkering Space: WorkSafe BC 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!

This summer when visiting Science World on a day when Maker Studio is scheduled, you can add on a FREE Maker Studio drop-in ticket with your admission. We'll have four time slots available each day:

  • 10:30 - 11:30 am
  • 12:00 - 1:00 pm
  • 2:00 - 3:00 pm
  • 3:30 - 4:30 pm

July Maker Studio Projects

Reflective Bike Decals

Get ready to safely bike around your community this summer! In this Maker Studio, we welcome makers in to make their very own reflective bike decals! Using Cricut Design Space and the Cricut smart cutting machines, makers will design their decal, cut, and weed the design while reflecting (pun intended!) on the safety and science of visibility.

Good stuff for you to know:

  • The availability of Maker Studio upon admission is not guaranteed.
  • Maker Studio activities are included in the price of admission, but you must select a drop-in time slot upon arrival. These timed tickets will be required to enter.
  • Each person (child or adult) wishing to complete a Maker Studio project must obtain a ticket. (ie. one ticket = one project made)
  • You can keep what you make!
  • Maker Studios happen in Tinkering a couple times per month — if you're visiting Science World on a day there is a Maker Studio, you can add on a free ticket to enter upon arrival.
  • Activities are recommended for makers age 12+ and require a safety orientation.  
  • Please note: Space is limited — we can accommodate a maximum of 10 participants per time slot.
  • You are welcome to drop in at any time during your selected hour, however you must complete your project before the hour is over. Activities take around 20 minutes to complete.
