The Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation is now offering a new FutureFixers Young Inventors “staycation” program.

Spend April Vacation Week with other 12-15 year-old boys & girls learning about innovation, looking for problems that need solving, and creating your very own inventions.

Plus, you will:

• Do “Making Stuff” projects created by NOVA

• Learn Steampunk design approaches from experts

• Get inspired by nature’s creative solutions

• Take things apart (and put them back together again, or not)

• Have fun trying lots of stuff that doesn’t work – at first!

All sessions will be held here in our historic and really cool museum!

Not only will you get to create your own inventions, you get to do so among some amazing innovations from the past.

The museum is located under the smokestack in the historic Francis Cabot Lowell Mill in the center of Waltham, Massachusetts, just 10 miles west of downtown Boston. From the North or South: From Interstate 95/Route 128, take exit 26 (Route 20 East) for 1.6 miles. At Waltham Common, turn right onto Moody St. Cross the river, turn left onto Pine St, and left onto Cooper St into the Embassy Theater parking lot. Then follow the signs and cross the footbridge. The museum entrance is below the smokestack. Do not park at the museum’s back door. Your car may be towed.
We do not have handicapped parking, but arrangements can be made.
