Make some buttons, make some slime, drive a robot, create something with our 3Doodler 3D pens, or use your imagination and build a cardboard creation with our Chomp Saw(s). Then stop by the Green Room for a beginner's crocheting class. And don't forget to participate in our community loom weaving project or to grab a take & make craft at the end of the day. The day is full of possibilities, what will you make of it?
