This April, explore open-ended creativity through hands-on artmaking! Join us this April for a hands-on STEAM series where creativity meets science, engineering, and design! Each Saturday features rotating stations that invite participants to experiment, build, and explore using simple materials in innovative ways. These sessions are process-based and flexible — participants may move between stations at their own pace, dive deeply into one project, or sample a variety of activities. Designed for all ages, April’s series blends artful making with real-world STEM concepts including light reflection, structural tension, motion, balance, and prototyping. This week, paper becomes a powerful engineering material in this dynamic session focused on motion and stability. Participants test center of gravity, structural strength, and pattern repetition while building kinetic sculptures, textured prints, and coiled paper forms. Through trial and iteration, makers discover how simple materials can move, stand, and support weight. Stations include: Kinetic Paper Sculptures Texture & Pattern Printing Paper Coil Strength Lab All materials provided. All ages welcome. STEAM Saturdays are offered seasonally from October through April and are fun for the whole family. No need to pre-register, just bring your curiosity! Morning Session: 10:30am - 11:00am Afternoon Session: 2:00pm - 2:30pm STEAM Saturdays are free with your daily admission or annual membership to the Journey Museum. Not a member? Become one today!
