There is no limit to what can be created in the Makery. This week we had two individuals make a soccer field. They used recycled cardboard and paper! It’s amazing to see what can be created out of recycled materials and the imagination of others. Come to the Makery and look through our scrap yard to use recycled materials and make your own invention!
Kidzu has been open for eight months and is very excited to celebrate all of the advancements that have been made. A special thanks to all of the staff members who have helped foster creation in both other staff members as well as museum visitors. Take a look back at some of the staff from our opening day!
The Makery prides itself on recycling old household items into new and amazing inventions. In one of our STEAM’D UP events in the Makery children learned about city planning by building their own city! From this project Kidzuville was created. Many children have worked to build the city and have turned Kidzuville into a growing and changing landscape. Come to the Makery to find out what you can create!
Come visit the Makery on Tuesday afternoons so you can participate in the Market to Market program! In this program we have a Kidzu chef take everyone to the farmers market to buy produce. After we have all the supplies, everyone comes back to Kidzu to cook a healthy meal with food from the Farmers Market! Every Tuesday from 3:30pm to 5!
The UNC Football team visited Kidzu and had a blast exploring all of the fun exhibits. You can visit the Makery too and and experience your own #MakeryMoment

As the sun sets on summer and the days get shorter the Makery is celebrating our friend the sun. We are also celebrating the friendship we have made in the Makery. Today a few Makery visitors demonstrated compassion. One child created a noise maker as a gift for the other. Making with a purpose is a key component of tinkering and I think this individuals purpose is perfect!
