“Builders Bash is where big imaginations and little hands get to work”, says Sally Dreher, Curator of Education. “Whether kids are buzzing about beehives, building their own toolboxes, or exploring real-world construction vehicles up-close, every activity is packed with fun, curiosity, and STEAM-powered discovery. This event offers families a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful experiences designed to inspire innovation, problem-solving, and collaborative learning. We hope to offer a little reminder that with creativity and teamwork, anything is possible!”
