HILTON BRANCH (meeting room) - This New Jersey Makers Day, we are Building Community in Maplewood! Pick up a kit to get started!
Share what you love about town by building your favorite local places using recyclable materials. The only limit is your imagination! Individual structures will be brought together to make a DIY community. The build process will be livestreamed and recorded so that progress can be tracked throughout the day.
WHO?: NJMD welcomes all ages to participate!
WHAT CAN YOU BUILD?: Build Maplewood! Some ideas for what you might build include your home, a business in town, your favorite park, plant, or tree, your school or classroom, or anything else that you think of when you think of Maplewood.
HOW CAN YOU BUILD?: Use your imagination! We will have kits with a few supplies and tutorials provided to get you started, available on a first come first serve basis at Hilton Branch starting March 7, but you don’t need a kit to build!
