Behind the Scenes at MOSAC: Design & Maker Lab Experience
Duration: 90 minutes
Join us for a unique, hands-on experience that dives into the creative and technical world behind MOSAC’s exhibits and maker programs. This interactive event is split into two dynamic components:
Group 1: Design Tour (45 minutes)
Take a guided tour with our Graphic Designer and Exhibit Technician to explore the creative process behind MOSAC's exhibit design. Get an inside look at how both in-house and externally produced elements come together—from concept to final installation.
Group 2: Maker Lab Experience (45 minutes)
Step into the Design Lab with our Lead Maker for an introduction to MOSAC’s maker philosophy. Learn about the engineering and design process, explore the tools and equipment used for tinkering and prototyping, and discover how this space supports community programs like drop-ins, workshops, and camps.
Hands-On Activities Include:
- A make-and-take station with a simple, customizable project
- Demonstrations and small group customization options
