Upcoming Events and Programs
Making oobleck is a favorite at the Museum, non-Newtonian principles. So, roll up your sleeves and get ready for some festive pumpkin oobleck! Look in the mirror and see yourself in STEM! Let’s make a self-portrait (that’s a picture of yourself) using a variety of objects. Maybe these objects reflect your interests or have a special meaning for you. These portraits will become community art pieces which will be on public display at CME, the Ames Mansion at Borderland State Park and the Borderland Visitor Center! During STEM week, we are paying homage to local STEM Renaissance woman Blanche Ames – a scientist, engineer and inventor. Thanks to the Southeastern Massachusetts STEM Network for helping us make STEM Week so awesome! Have you ever seen a square pumpkin? We’ll be reading The Legend of Spookley, the Squared Pumpkin by Joe Troiano and creating our own square friend. Join us for an evening of private playtime with sensory-friendly activities for families to connect with their children who are affected by an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Ages 10 and under. Free admission but pre-registration is required. If you are registering on behalf of a center/organization, you must list all of the individuals who will be in attendance. Thank you! Our MakerSpace is a place for creativity to come to life through planning, constructing, testing and redesigning. If your design doesn’t work the way you envisioned, simply noodle a way to fix it! It’s a trial and error process and teaches kids to rely on themselves to problem-solve. Come be a creative thinker in MakerSpace! Our hands-on area helps foster problem-solving and experimentation. It evolves questions into ideas and ideas into inventions. Take the MakerSpace Challenge or do your own thing with the assortment of recycled objects. What will you create?
