Young Adventurers at IMAS
Join us for Young Adventurers at the International Museum of Art & Science, a fun and engaging experience designed for children ages 1-6 with an accompanying adult. Workshops sessions are held at 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. with a different theme each month. Registration includes the participating child and up to two adults. Families are welcome to stick around and explore the museum before/after their workshop.
Our IMAS Educators will lead hands-on activities that introduce young learners to the exciting world of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Math). Through play and exploration, children will develop essential problem-solving and motor skills, while fostering critical thinking and observation abilities. Together with their guardians, young adventurers will discover the wonders of nature and gain an early appreciation for STEAM concepts.
