Are you a do-it-yourselfer, or are you afraid to do it yourself, but wish you weren't? Come to the Exploratorium this summer, from July 1 to August 26, 2007, to try the stuff you might not do by yourself at home.
Whether you're skilled at soldering or still scared of your toolkit, don't miss Oops! A Make-Break Fest. That's "oops" as in making things, breaking things, and even putting things back together again. It is a series of summer funshops for the "maker" in all of us. Oops! A Make-Break Fest is free with admission to the Exploratorium.
At Oops!, experience many kinds of interactions as you try and make stuff -- solders, screws, burns, pours, pushes and pulls, stitches, grinds, each one contributing to a distinct sense of accomplishment. Unless it breaks.
Or especially if it breaks. Where else will you experience the unadulterated fun and emotion, the thrill and the challenge, of trying to re-wire your own lamp, fix your toaster, or make home-made scientific toys? Better yet, if you can dream it, the Exploratorium will help you make it. -- www.exploratorium.edu
