It is a fort builder's dream! At Who Forted?, the whole family can get in on the fun of building a living room fort with piles of sheets, pillows, and other fun household items. Can you build the best, most creative, and largest fort in town? What does building blanket forts have to do with science? While building a fort, you are actually practicing many scientific concepts, including architecture, engineering, geometry, and interior design. Families will: - Construct unique structures and spaces.
- Get creative! Try out different designs and see what worlds kids will create inside.
- Solve problems. We bet your fort will not be perfect the first time, you will have to add and change things to make it work.
- Communicate and collaborate with others during the building process.
- Build confidence in your abilities of engineering design.
- Dream up extraordinary ideas, there are no limits to your imagination.
- Have fun!
The MakerPlace
2nd floor (former Chemistry Kitchen)
The MakerPlace at Kentucky Science Center with Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana is designed to inspire a lifelong passion for making. Regardless of your artistic talent, current tech experience, or ability to accurately answer math problems; the maker movement encourages you to ask questions, solve problems, and even learn from failure!
What is Making?
Making is a beautiful blend of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math all centered around creativity and endless possibilities. This process of Making encourages growth and innovation through tinkering, problem-solving, and, most importantly, embracing your mistakes.
| |  | | As part of Make Your Season, we'll also be showing Home Alone in the 4-story digital theater throughout the Holiday season. Watch Kevin McCallister protect his family's home with some of the same skills you'll see in action in The MakerPlace.

Tickets are $8 for members and $10 for non-members.
