Studio X

Have you ever wanted to create something amazing but didn't know where to start? Everyone has an eXciting, innovative side, and Studio X is a place where families can eXplore it.  

Makerspaces are all about community—they help you learn how to work together and complete a project while creatively eXperimenting with different techniques. At Studio X, we have Studio eXperts, the tools and the materials to help you bring your imagination to life. So come on by. It'll be fun! 

Take Apart by Studio X 

What is inside of a printer? What is the proper way to use a drill? Learn the answers to these questions and more through hands-on eXploration in Take Apart, a new experience by Studio X.   

Every machine can be broken down into smaller parts that are easier to understand. In Take Apart, you use tools to open and learn about the different components of electronics and gadgets. With all the parts, you can create something new and eXciting.   

This interactive experience lets you focus on safe tool use and practice the responsible operation of screwdrivers, power drills, soldering irons and hot glue guns in a controlled environment. Studio eXperts are there to guide you through the entire process.  

With the pieces we take apart,  you can design different pieces with projects like tech creatures and robots.
