Use a Merge Cube to bring artifacts to life as 3D holograms. Integrating the magic of augmented and virtual reality, teens will hold, manipulate, and magnify objects typically viewed in a no-touch environment, providing a fresh way to see museum exhibits. “Handle” an intricately decorated Maya chocolate plate or a delicate Egyptian figurine. Examine ancient artifacts and specimens in the palm of your hand. Through hands-on activities, teens will make their own 3D objects.
Teen Saturdays workshops are designed to build community and improve the museum experience for multicultural and Spanish-speaking teens. Workshops are presented bilingually in Spanish and English. Snacks provided!
$10 fee includes free admission to all HMSC museums following the workshop.
Teens receive a membership worth $100 after attending three or more 2024 fall semester Teen Saturday Workshops. Or, receive a free admission pass (worth $15) for a return visit if you attend one of the four sessions.
