At Home Engineering Kits
We miss you at The Works Museum! To make up for the distance, our team of educators has put together a series of At Home Engineering projects to keep your young engineers entertained and excited about STEM. Each kit comes with all the special materials needed to make a project and online video instructions.
When you purchase our At Home Engineering kits, you’re not only providing valuable hands-on learning for your child, you’re supporting a local nonprofit organization. As a thank you, we’re including a free YOXO building set with each purchase, while supplies last.
How It Works:
- Order your At-Home engineering kit through the link below.
- Once your order is complete, you will receive a link to select your pickup date and time.
- When you pick up your kit, you will receive a link to the At-Home Engineering tutorial video.
- If you run into trouble, want to ask questions about the science behind the project, or want ideas for more projects related to your kit, email one of our educators at sonia@theworks.org.
