Hammer, Wire and Paint at Museum of Discovery Construction Workshops
Young Bob the Builder fans are in for a treat at the Museum of Discovery! Each Saturday, Jan. 24-Feb. 21, visitors can experience the world of construction in a series of Build it Lab workshops.
In partnership with AGC Arkansas, Home Depot and University of Arkansas at Little Rock, the workshop series will engage youngsters in activities related to home-building: framing, waterproofing, plumbing, wiring, roofing, soundproofing and painting. Activities will be facilitated by construction professionals, Home Depot employees and museum staff.
Plus, visitors can watch as students from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock's Construction Management program build a playhouse. Each Saturday will focus on a different phase of construction: Framing (Jan. 24); Exterior Finish (Jan. 31); Wiring & Roofing (Feb. 7); Interior Finishing (Feb. 14); and Painting (Feb. 21). The finished playhouse will be donated to a school playground.
The workshops will be from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. each Saturday, Jan. 24-Feb. 21. Activities are included with regular museum admission: $10, children ages 1-12 $8, children under 1 free.
