In this open ended session, learners will discover, explore and talk about the innovative curation of the Museum of Making’s assemblage collection arranged by the materials the objects are made of.

In our state of the art Studios, learners will create their own object with a given design critieria, being able to choose from a wide range of materials and tools and asked to work scientifically.
