Come create with us!

Thursdays from 5 to 8 p.m. we offer awesome activities in Fulton's Workshop. Each will have a focus or theme, but you can also come and explore the workshop if that week's activity isn't up your alley. Alternate activities include micro:bit hands-on, our Lego Wall, cardboard construction, magnet wall challenge, wind tunnel and much more. Come on in and we'll show you around!

​

Explore hands-on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics) projects for all ages!

 

We want to:

  • Create a fun interactive learning environment 

  • Emphasizes imagination and creativity 

  • Make curious and thoughtful learners 

​

Free for museum members  |  Regular admission rate for non-members

Make It! Schedule

​October 9:  Paper Mâché Pumpkins   Paper mâché pumpkins are a classic fall craft! They’re easy to make and a fun craft to make as a family. Add some homemade charm to your fall decor! Paper mâché is a French term which translates to “chewed paper” and has been used for hundreds of years. 

​

October 16:  Leaf Chromatography   Answer the question “Why do leaves change color?” with this fun science experiment. Leaf chromatography is a simple science technique that separates the different pigments found in leaves, revealing the hidden colors that contribute to their vibrant hues. It demonstrates how leaves contain various pigments besides the dominant green of chlorophyll.

​

October 23:  Spooky Shadow Puppets   Explore the science of shadows and put on a spooky (or not so spooky) Halloween show! Sometimes, objects (like cardboard puppets) are thick enough to block light as it travels through the air. The size of the shadow depends on how close or far away it is from the light source. Shadows can also “stretch” and “bend” as the angle changes between the object and the light source. This is why trees outside a window can sometimes look like a scary monster!

​

October 30:  Puking Pumpkin or Pumpkin Volcano  Explore the science of chemistry and chemical reactions in this simple and entertaining activity we call the “puking pumpkin!” For the more squeamish participants we’ll make “pumpkin volcanoes.”
