Kid-friendly hands-on, educational activities
Plan for some fun during summer break for your young, aspiring artists and engineers. In addition to open drop-in hours, the Garbage Garage Education Center offers free workshops for kids this summer.
All workshops begin with a brief tour on waste and recycling followed by a lesson and creative activity. Materials are provided for all workshops, but space is limited. Parents and guardians are required to assist as needed.
