"It's a what?" "A thingamajig!" Calling
all inventors, let's get the juices
flowing and start preparing, before
we know it the Thingamajig Invention
Convention will be here! Get your
brain and imagination working by
creating a new invention or finding a
new use for an everyday item. You
may even make something that
doesn’t have a name or doesn’t want
to have a name. Your imagination and
creativity is your only limit!
WHAT’S HAPPENING
Welcome Parents!
Invention allows children to
exercise their imaginations and
creativity, and Thingamajig
acts as a way of introducing
children into new perspectives.
That’s why we have a variety
of hands-on experiments and
activities all geared to stimu-
late their creativity.
On Tuesday July 25th, the kids will be visiting The Living
Computers Museum & Lab!
We will explore their new main gallery! There they will have
direct experiences with
robotics, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, self-driving
cars, big , video game
making, and digital art. On Wednesday July 26th, we will take an
easy hike with a
spectacular endpoint? Look no further than Franklin Falls! At
just 2 miles roundtrip
with 400 feet in elevation gain, it is the perfect destination
for any hiker looking for
something easy and beautiful.
