Imagination Station

Imagination Station, Toledo's Science Center, will implement Toledo Tinkers: Through a Child's Eyes - a new initiative to address barriers to STEM education and promote a lifelong love of those subjects. An outreach curriculum and a mobile tinkering lab will help children ages 11-13 and their families establish personal connections with making and tinkering. Pilot programs will include the Maker Club - a 12-session out-of-school program for students from Boys and Girls Clubs of Toledo and other community-based organizations - as well as Tinkering Takeovers, which is a drop-in tinkering program for families at branch libraries. A community exhibition will showcase the diversity of the Toledo community and its rich history of making and tinkering, using the work of participating children.
