Activity Highlights

Fabrication Friday is a build-focused day centered on hands-on construction and real-world making.

This activity invites children to work with tools and materials to design and create sturdy projects they can use, display, or build upon.

What You’ll Experience

Participants tackle build challenges using a variety of materials and hand tools appropriate for their age and skill level. Projects may involve measuring, assembling, fastening, and refining designs as kids turn ideas into tangible objects.

Guided support helps children learn safe tool use while still encouraging independence, creativity, and problem-solving throughout the build process.

Why It Matters

Fabrication builds confidence, patience, and practical problem-solving skills. Working through real construction challenges teaches kids how planning, precision, and persistence lead to successful outcomes.

Fabrication Friday helps children see themselves as capable builders and makers, developing skills that translate into everyday life and future creative projects.
