In this video, NYSCI’s science communicator Jayde Lovell talks with Design Lab Manager, Satbir Multani - about the Maker Space 50 Tools challenge, where kids can come and learn the 50 tools you should be familiar with before you reach the age of 12.

They discuss rasps and clamps, 3D printer pens, wires and pliers - and vice grips.

You can also make your own mold and cast in concrete with Tool Thursday: Casting.

These include drop-in activities in Design Lab, that encourage you to explore and collaborate with all kinds of tools, such as  drills, scissors, hammers, clay, glue gun, punch tool, and soldering irons.

This activity encourages tinkering, movement, design thinking and creative problem-solving skills.

So come along with you little makers.
