Participants are encouraged to experiment\, test ideas\, take creative risks and work together—whether they are building LEGO® worlds\, reimagining discarded objects\, exploring printmaking and painting\, or discovering new ways of thinking through STEAM challenges. Each experience is designed to build confidence\, spark imagination and support different learning styles through making and doing.From free drop‑in activities for families to facilitated workshops and youth‑led experiences\, these programs extend the world of RELICS beyond the gallery walls.
