Getting started

NEMO’s Maker Space invites you to try your hand at tinkering. Explore the possibilities by experimenting with different materials and ideas... Thinking with your hands and learning by doing. As you create, you’ll uncover new concepts and clever solutions. These activities are ready for you to explore today:

  • a girl looks curiously at electrical wires

    Turn the light on

    Get started with electricity and build an electric circuit. Can you turn on the light?

  • a man looks pensively at a little box in his hand

    Guess the device

    Every day you use all kinds of devices: your alarm clock, your phone, the toaster, and more. Disassembled and deconstructed - would you still recognise everyday appliances?
