Explorables: Handmade Science

Motors, Climbing Bears, and Paper Rockets

Make toys that whir, climb, and soar with the help of friction, feet, and magnetic fields. 

Use everyday materials to create models and other tools for exploring the world around us. Run by a highly skilled, dedicated team of volunteers, these drop-in workshops mix classic activities with open-ended investigations, encouraging participants to follow their hunches to *aha* moments of scientific insight. 

Explorables has been offering science to go since 1990.
