On February 20, we are kicking off a new in-person program series designed for parents and kids: STEAMbox Family Workshops! The winter/spring programs integrate STEM and creative arts skills into cohesive and hands-on learning experiences. The three Saturday morning workshops, which run February 20, March 27, and April 17, will each center on a unique theme — estuary habitats, sailors’ sea chests, and creative writing, all with a maritime twist. STEAMbox Family Workshops will be held at the museum and led by museum educators. Space is limited to 16 participants per workshop.

February 20, 10 am: Estuary Habitats at Maine Maritime Museum

March 27, 10 am: Build Your Own Mini Sea Chest

April 17, 10 am: Creative Writing with Ships Logs and Sea Journals
