Home / Activities
Maker Mashup Monday is a high-energy creative session where ideas collide and innovation takes shape.
This activity invites kids to mix materials, tools, and concepts to invent something entirely their own, all while embracing experimentation and imaginative problem-solving.
Participants are encouraged to combine unexpected materials, explore different tools, and follow open-ended prompts that spark creativity. There’s no single right outcome. The focus is on exploration, iteration, and playful invention.
Kids may work independently or collaborate with others, sharing ideas, adapting designs, and discovering new approaches as their projects evolve.
Creative problem solving builds adaptability, confidence, and resilience. By experimenting without strict instructions, children learn to trust their instincts, take risks, and see mistakes as part of the process.
Maker Mashup Monday helps kids strengthen flexible thinking and innovation skills that apply far beyond the maker space.
