Imagination, curiosity, creativity, and inspiration are not cancelled. Discovery happens at Children’s Museum Houston – A Playground for Your Mind™! The Museum (CMH) will continue to offer its popular Chevron Maker Annex Virtual Workshops. These workshops are free, streamed live, and teach children how to use TinkerCAD software to produce 3-D models of animal cells, DNA, coral reefs, buildings and more. Led by maker Education Manager, Jacob Breier, the workshops began during the stay-at-home order in March and have now become one of the Museum’s most popular virtual attractions!

Info on the workshops can be found on the Museum’s website and Facebook page. Instructions on how to login are provided after registration. Make sure to book your spot as spaces fill up quickly!

Don’t forget to swing by the Museum to say “hello” to Jacob in the Maker Annex and to be part of the Epic Adventure scavenger hunt. The Epic Adventure scavenger hunt takes you through the entire Museum by exploring nine Adventure Zones with your own individual Adventure Pack while maintaining physical distance from other families. Can your mind come out to play?™
