The Buffalo Museum of Science proudly presents the “Make It Up” Summer Experience, now open through the summer months. Guests will use their own curiosity, and ingenuity, to dream up and construct creations from the Museum supply of cardboard, tape, scissors, light and peg boards and more. The experience features engaging activities for all ages including spaces to “Build It Up,” “Link It Up,” “Tear It Up” and “Light It Up!” All activities associated with “Make It Up” are included with general museum admission and free for Buffalo Museum of Science members.
In the “Build It Up” space, visitors are immersed in a supply of materials and guides for linking various supplies. We’ve posted guides to creating flanges, angled tubes, fasteners, curves and slot joints and our facilitators will encourage curious minds to imagine and construct their own design. The “Tear It Up” experience provides an inside look at the inner workings of every day products. Inductors, capacitors, transformers and integrated circuits are available to take apart and explore. Our “Light It Up” board gives visitors a chance to help us finish our spectacular space scene. We’ve started with an astronaut made from layered pieces of paper. Guests will help us finish the scene, cutting paper and laying the sheets on top of one another to create different shades of value. In “Link It Up,” visitors use our supply of dowels, foam tubes and string to construct geo-boards and learn about area and perimeter.
In addition to “Make It Up,” the Buffalo Museum of Science is delighted to announce M&T Bank as the presenting sponsor of the Stay Cool Science summer promotion. Visitors may enjoy the Museum with 50% off general admission after 12:00 noon on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursdays, through August 25th.
