Tinkering Space: The WorkSafeBC Gallery you know and love has a new feature:
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!
June Maker Studio: Rulers Rule!
So much has moved into the digital space, but there’s still something deeply satisfying about using hands-on tools, even if it’s just a ruler to get straight lines or measurements.
Visit us in the Tinkering Space: The WorkSafeBC Gallery to create your own ridiculously awesome ruler! Try out the GloForge, one of the newest tools in our Maker Studio, and personalize your ruler with safety phrases like “#ListenToYourGut,” “Keep It Real — And Safe,” “Let’s Talk About Safety,” “Know the Hazards” or come up with your own!
Drop by the Tinkering Gallery after school to customize your one-of-a-kind keepsake. With help from our Makers, you'll imagine, design, create and test your ruler while practicing safe tool-handling skills.
