DISCOVER MAKING

Three easy steps

This facilitated experience walks you through building a customized wearable in three stages: vinyl cutting, 3D printing, and LED circuitry. As you work, you'll learn about problem-solving skills, the diverse community of Chicago makers, and the positive impact that making can have. Make Shop is not included in Museum Entry, and requires an additional, timed-entry ticket available as part of Explorer ticket packages. For ages 6 and up. Children ages 6 to 12 must be with a Make Shop-ticketed chaperone (18 or older).
