New York Hall of Science

The New York Hall of Science, in partnership with the Queens Museum of Art, will begin “Queens Makes,” a program to foster invention, experimental problem solving, design, and building for young tinkerers and their families. This initiative leverages the museum’s commitment to hosting the annual World Maker Faire event by engaging the diverse communities of Queens, NY. “Queens Makes” will create ongoing weekend programming to extend the spirit of World Maker Faire by partnering with the local Latino, Asian, and Caribbean communities, and encouraging them to engage with the museum as a place to showcase their talents and passions. The enrichment of science content and programming through community participation will heighten the quality of the educational experience and enable makers, visitors, and staff to see firsthand how blending arts and science can spark creativity, inventiveness, discovery, and innovation.
