In this hands-on tinkering session, we will explore computational tinkering, a playful open-ended approach to digital tools. We’ll try out activities that combine crafting with physical materials with digital tools like block-based programming platforms and microcontrollers that connect coding with the physical world.

Museum MakerSpaces are an open source community where people create and share environments, activities, and new ideas. In this hands-on session, various makers will share activities that can support the learning of content, skills and practices in informal science learning venues. This will be an opportunity to see how things might work in a drop-in makerspace, try out something new and learn from the makers of the Ecsite community.
