Overview
The Bakken Museum in Minneapolis is a creative hub for exploring science, the humanities, and technology. Bakken offers innovative 5-day summer camps where children and teens create inventions using provided materials in the museum’s maker space.
Campers learn responsible use of technology and tools while participating in games, learning science-based magic tricks, and solving problems. They also enjoy the outdoor museum spaces for fresh air and exercise.
Rising second and third-graders enjoy the Young Makers camp and each child takes home a completed project. Campers entering fourth through ninth grades work together as they problem-solve to create original projects. There is a 4 to 1 student to teacher ratio.
