The Kids Creative Lab—which has been a huge hit—is now offering online workshops! The July program is “Make an Apple, Store an Apple.” Will the mandarin orange nets be transformed into apples by everyone’s hands!? How can we do it? By taking things apart to build… by breaking things down to create… What kind of apples will everyone’s hands bring to life?

The Kids Creative Lab’s online series, “The Secret Hideout Inside Our Home,” is about to begin. The setting for these workshops—“The Secret Hideout Inside Our Home”—is right where you are right now. You’ll create things using everyday items, move your body, and conduct experiments. Our goal is to enrich and transform everyone’s daily lives through these workshops and through your own “exploration.”

We were temporarily closed to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, but we reopened our exhibits on Tuesday, June 2, with infection prevention measures in place. Exhibits where you can touch, create, and play—based on six themes: Light, Shapes, Movement, Sound, Numbers, and Digital Ehon—are now on display at the Tsukuba Expo Center! Enjoy experiences that spark wonder and inspiration, from sculpting with everyday materials to robots you can design to walk in different ways. There are plenty of new ways to play that make “creating” and “thinking” even more fun. Why not come and check it out?
