The Works Museum

The Works is a hands-on museum that makes learning about engineering, science and technology interesting, understandable and fun.

Thank you to @Sensata Technologies for their Day of Service and for supporting our Gateway access program! Their hard working volunteers prepped supplies for our electromagnetism workshop. Partners like Sensata make our mission of inspiring tomorrow's innovators possible!

Two days 'til Tech Fest! Our friends from @BurnsMacSTEM @BurnsMcDonnell are back this year leading a DIY cotton ball launcher activity. Don't worry parents, this is very serious science demonstrating potential and kinetic energy. 😉

Our friends from @EMR_Automation are back at Tech Fest this Saturday! They are passionate about inspiring children to pursue STEM and working to close the gender gap in STEM careers - and their activities are always a hit with kids. Stop by their table and say hi.

Don't forget to give a housewarming gift for #GivetotheMaxDay! By supporting The House, you're not just investing in an exhibit; you're providing learning experiences that connect to career awareness. Please help us inspire tomorrow's STEM workforce.

Give to the Max begins at midnight! Please contribute to a housewarming for our newest exhibit - The House. We don’t need pots, pans or cutlery, but we do need your support to create exhibits and programs where all children and their families belong. https://t.co/5R8JLiKnfe

We're gearing up for another year of bringing engineering workshops to classrooms across Minnesota. Here's a highlight from this past school year. A huge thanks to @XcelEnergyMN for supporting the work we do!

Having the best time at #STEMDay2023 with @XcelEnergyMN - already can’t wait for next year! @SciMathMN #youbelonginSTEM

[The Works Museum @theworksmuseum]

We're looking for a few people to interview (on camera) for an upcoming exhibit. If you're an electrician, plumber, mason, HVAC technician, or any other trade that could be used to build a house, send us a message!

Camp spotlight: Artistry in Motion
In this colorful camp, kids explore the intersection of art and engineering by making doodle pens, spin art machines & more. There are still a few spots available the week of 7/17-20 at @MNChildMuseum - sign up today at https://t.co/rjp3C5DTNl

We are excited to share that over 100 arts and culture organizations have come together to invite everyone in Minnesota to “Come to Wonder” by participating in the state’s rich arts and culture experiences. Take a moment to explore the new website, https://t.co/VQ5hh8I4Cg.

It's happening! Follow along with Austin Granger and see how he uses the engineering design process to create a new K'Nex ball machine in the museum. https://t.co/LHHRpSphMN
