Maker Studio in Tinkering Space: The WorkSafeBC Gallery

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!
