Get into the spirit of the season with a STEAM-powered haunted house build! Design and construct your own cardboard mansion, then transform it into a spooky architectural scene with a moon-lit sky, creepy cobwebs, flapping bats, and eerie textures.
This fall-themed, hands-on project blends art, engineering, and storytelling, encouraging participants to explore 3D construction, light and shadow, and thematic scene creation. Learn about structural design, textural contrast, and how to bring a haunted world to life using mixed media and recycled materials.
This family-friendly workshop is suitable for all ages—including children under 12. All materials are provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own spooky stickers, textured papers, or embellishments!
Registration coming soon.
