Maker Studio in the Tinkering Space: The WorkSafeBC Gallery

Introducing Science World's Maker Studio in the Tinkering Space: WorkSafeBC Gallery!

Learning how to use tools safely and experimenting with different materials is an essential skill for everyone to have and Maker Studio is just the place to go to get the practice and creative space to do so!

We also created Maker Studio to give you an environment that empowers you to listen to your gut and ask questions about your safety when working in a new environment with new tools. Our facilitators would love to have these conversations with you.

Maker Studios take place a couple times each month—we hope to see you soon!
