Located in Innovation Station, Maker Workshops are drop-in programs open to children ages 6-11. The Innovation Workshop can accommodate 16 students. These programs are aligned to Maker-Centered Learning pedagogy and best practices.

Fly—don’t walk—through The DoSeum’s summer exhibition, Going Places, where kids can explore how we drive, float, glide, and zoom! This fun STEM experience will immerse visitors into the science of getting around over land, sea, air, and space. With 17 play-centered exhibits, they will encounter concepts like velocity, gravity, buoyancy, aerodynamics, energy efficiency, space science, carbon footprint, and design. Climb aboard the flight simulator to pilot a propeller plane! Hop on a hover-disk to learn about airflow. Build a virtual car to test its aerodynamics, engine and wheel types. Practice controlling a blimp. Plan a family trip with multiple modes of transportation. See how air and fuel are used to create power with a see-through generator. Try your luck at sailing a land yacht— and so much more! Outside of The DoSeum, kids can continue the journey with several San Antonio transportation innovators, our teammates in this year’s Summer Challenge! Through several partnerships, kids will be challenged to think about ways to improve our city system and connect the dots between innovation and community. Going Places will show kids that technology travel shapes our lives and the future. It’s going to be a wild ride!

Ever wonder how stories are created? During The DoSeum’s Guest Author Series, kids can immerse themselves in the world of storytelling and learn from children’s book authors! They’ll have the opportunity to meet professional writers and illustrators, hear the author’s stories read aloud, and get their own books signed. Participants will experience reading through imaginative activities for kids 6 years and up, inspired by our featured books. Don't worry - we have a separate activity planned for any participants 5 and under following the reading. After meeting with these Texan authors, they might even be inspired to create stories of their own!
