Wed. August 5th thru Fri. August 7th
from 11:30am - 2:30pm
Join AAIM for our three-day STEM camp, where students will explore 3D design and printing using Bambu Studio and 3D printers. 3D design and printing are the modern counterparts to many of the technologies showcased at the Industrial Museum. After taking a guided tour, students will select one object from the Museum to replicate as a 3D-designed and printed model, along with an additional project of their own choosing.
This program is geared toward students who are new to 3D printing but who have basic computer skills. Participants should be comfortable using a laptop and mouse, using the Ctrl key to select multiple items, and managing files. If you are unsure whether your child has the necessary skill set, please feel free to reach out.
This event runs three days from Wednesday, August 5th to Friday, August 7th. It will take place from 11:30am – 2:30pm every day. Attending all three days is mandatory.
Students must be 10 years or older. Space is limited, registration and a $15 deposit are required.
Questions? Call 508-222-3918 or email education@industrialmuseum.com.
Wed. August 12th from 11:30am - 2:30pm
Join AAIM for our one-day STEM camp, where students will explore 3D design and printing using Bambu Studio and 3D printers. 3D design and printing are the modern counterparts to many of the technologies showcased at the Industrial Museum. After an introductory lesson, students will select one object to replicate as a 3D-designed and printed model.
The event runs on Wednesday, August 12th from 11:30am – 2:30pm.

Saturday, August 15th from 2PM-3PM
Join us for a reading of “Robots, Robots, Everywhere” followed by an interactive math activity. In our story, we met a lot of robots, each with its own job. We will create our own robots by rolling a dice and picking the body part(s)/materials that match the number rolled. (Ex: When adding a mouth, you roll the number one, meaning your robot has a smiley face — number two would mean your robot had a frowny face.)
This event is free. Registration is encouraged but not required. This event is intended for ages 3-5.
Questions? Call 508-222-3918 or email education@industrialmuseum.com.
Saturday, Sept 5th - Multiple Times Available
September is National Library Card Month and we are partnering with the Attleboro Public Library to make sure everyone has a library card. Celebrate by making a personalized keychain for your library card and learn the basics of 3D design and printing.
Already have a library card? Great! Need one? APL staff will be on site to sign up new users.
Participants should have a basic understanding of computer skills (using a laptop, mouse, Ctrl key, selecting multiple files, etc.) or be accompanied by an adult who has these skills.

STEM & STEAM Make and Take Events
Make & Take STEM events are held on the 3rd Saturday of every month.
Water Pump: Make & Take
Saturday, August 15th from 10:30am-1:30pm
The Fire Queen built in 1850 was used in Attleboro until 1885 when the town upgraded its fire protection to install water mains in populated areas. The Fire Queen required 24 people in order to transport it to the scene of the fire and to activate the hand pump.
See the Fire Queen in person and create your own hand pump using everyday items: water bottles, straws, and balloons. Learn the science behind how water travels through pipes using pressure.
Free and open to the public. Stop by any time between 10:30am and 1:30pm.
