Morris likes lots of things: doing puzzles, painting pictures, pretending to be an astronaut, and wearing a tangerine dress from his school’s dress-up box because it “reminds him of tigers, the sun, and his mother’s hair.” But some of his classmates think boys can’t wear dresses. With his vivid imagination and space-animal friends, Morris travels the galaxy in search of an answer to the all-important question: “Do astronauts wear dresses?”

It's time for a Sunday STEM Challenge! Work individually or in a group to turn everyday and ordinary materials into a string phone. Learn the fundamentals of basic engineering through interactive problem-solving while learning about sound waves. This program focuses on process over product and encourages fun experimentation. Who will you call? What will your phone be made of? All ages and abilities are welcome.

We are going on an imaginary walk through the forest to observe what’s on the forest floor. Explore natural materials that make up this living ecosystem and take time to notice the small details of this world.

Member’s Science Spot is a weekly programming time when families get to know live aquarium animals and participate in activities designed especially for children 0-5. Experience enriching moments that foster curiosity, exploration, and love of the natural world.

Explore, create, and collaborate during this drop-in class for children ages 2-5 and their caregivers. Each week, experiment with the mediums and styles of both well-known and emerging artists. This week, we’ll focus on the work of mosaic artist, Caroline Jeriwala. She gives new life to broken pieces of crockery in her large-scale mosaics. Visitors will have the opportunity to design their own take-home mosaics.

Please plan for a messy but fun morning; aprons will be provided. Thank you to Hancock Lumber for their support of this program and CMTM's MakerSpace.

Afternoon Art is a one-hour opportunity for in-depth creation. Each week, we will meet at the studio table to learn about a different artist or maker and experiment with the mediums or styles they are known for. This week, we’ll focus on the mosaic work of Caroline Jeriwala & how she gives new life to broken pieces of crockery through her art. Use small pieces of colored tile to design your own mosaic.
