Area residents can celebrate President's Day with creativity at inspireU with a hands-on Maker Faire designed for the whole family.
This special event expands on the interactive play areas by including over ten extra activities and showcasing several local makers. Cowtown Donuts will be on-site selling fresh miniature donuts throughout the day.
The event is packed with engaging stations that cater to a wide variety of interests. Guests can test their engineering skills at Catapult Corner and the Electric Screwdriver Board, or dive into modern technology at the 3D Printing Pen Playground. For those who enjoy tactile crafts, there will be a Sewing Station, Heat Gun Shrink Art, and a custom Sticker-making station. You can also get your hands dirty at the Slime Bar in the Messy Room, explore Cardboard Construction using a Chomp Saw, or take on the Mystery Material Challenge.
Creators of all ages are welcome, though children 18 and under must be accompanied by an adult, and children under one year old can join the fun for free. All special Maker Faire activities are included in your ticket purchase, and it is highly recommended registering in advance to save on admission. Online tickets are available for $20 per person, while tickets at the door will be $25.
Members of inspireU receive an exclusive discount on their admission, with tickets priced at $15 per person when purchased online or $20 at the door.
