Makers Studio
Branding, art direction, Environmental design, Concept Modeling, Video production, Exhibit Design, Content Development, Copy writing, Illustration, fabrication
Initially intended as a temporary exhibition to compliment SCI's "Summer of Making" programming, Makers Studio has only been off display for three seasons since debuting in 2014. Now a permanent feature of the museum, this exhibit introduces participants to the Maker movement through unfacilitated, open-ended making experiences.
Visitors learn about the "maker mindset"
and the 5 steps of iterative problem solving: Explore, Design, Build, Test and Improve. Each step of the process is presented with a corresponding activity or series of activities. Exhibit interactives include a stop-motion animation theater, mag-lev wind racers, a workbench area with real woodworking tools, electric circuit blocks and more.
Each area also features a short film interviewing a group of professional or amateur makers in the local community, offering career connections while also reinforcing that making is for everybody!
